i found the staff very professional and friendly! they gave me a thorough guide to the facilities and entrance routes. the bar and dining rooms were comfortable and attractive. the hotel offered a good varied menu and a wide stock of beers, ales, and wines.
The breakfast was a bit disappointing. There wasn't much choice for continental options. the cooked breakfast had watery eggs. breakfast room tables were left a long time with food on, so there were flies everywhere.

i had a big room during my two-night stay. it featured a welcome bath. the large makeup mirror was quite useful. the room provided good teas, coffees, biscuits along with still and sparkling water.
I stayed in room 7. it was noisy due to the kitchen fan running from 7am to midnight, so earplugs were available. following provided instructions, i parked at the side of the pub but i was told i could not park there. the manager asked where i had parked. It was a bit confusing
