Overall a very nice hotel. Bit of confusion around booking, their site asked for a time of arrival and this was taken as a check-in time, so instead of 11AM it was actually 3PM before we could check-in. The room itself was nice enough and actually the bed was one of the best I've ever slept in! The breakfast wasn't bad for being included, but wouldn't have spent money on it.

All the staff were excellent, polite and very attentive despite the restaurant being busy. Rooms although not very big had everything you could need. Food first class and served with a smile, special mention to Paul and Darren who were always available for a story.

Nice hotel. Nice food. Nice staff. I didn't like their dual pricing system. My bill showed twice on my bank account for over a week, causing a block on my credit card.

We were put at table 3 we asked to move to another table as it wasn't busy. We were told no we had to stay there. A single man came in and was seated at a corner table which seats 6. We then lodged a complaint and eventually we were moved. We just feel we could have been treated better as we are regulars.
