The staff are helpful. I enjoyed the larger than expected room, which I booked as a cosy double. The homemade bread stood out and I think it was excellent.

The car park requires some repairs. I noticed some potholes.

The breakfast was a highlight of my stay. Reviews indicated the quality, and they were accurate. The location is quite nice too.

The hotel seemed to allocate seating at the Christmas party. Customers were not happy about restricted choices. The food was ok. The starter was small, but delicious.
