The welcome from the team was great they attended to all my requests without any hesitation. The meeting space had private access to the garden at the rear of the hotel it was a real gem. The location is excellent with easy access to shops restaurants and transport.

The stair carpets could use a clean as there were many stains I noticed. The paint work could be touched up in more than a few places. Breakfast at £35 a head is not worth it a small slice of dry cake cost £7 it was too much.
