A nice hotel but quite old inside the room, with squeaky floor. The good thing is the location.

Tripper
our stay was perfect other than the breakfast which we thought was overpriced and barely warm and the bacon imo was under cooked and no variety from day to day! Also the food menus in the grill I thought were poor! alright if you like chicken but again not much to choose from. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and the location was very good.

No water provided and small tumblers. Sounds trivial but a nice glass of cold water is most welcome after a lot of driving. Every other hotel provides this.

The Hotel - comfortable, friendly well located.
The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The heating was not easy to control but the room was comfortable was was the dining room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection was extensive, well cooked and varied. The bar area was rather "corporate" and could be less formal. It should be clearer that there are expensive charges for car parking, increasing the cost of the stay by over £22-. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the city's attractions.
