Negatives: The key card would not work on my room. They provided me either a key in the end. The room was very stuffy. It needs airing more regularly. It was a room over the bar and so it was noisy. They provided earplugs in the room...so that was a bit of a clue! The cooked breakfast was lukewarm. Positives: The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was good.

Anyone with dodgy knees should take care when staying at this hotel. There are a LOT of stairs involved in getting to some of the bedrooms and I didn't find any flat routes even to the rooms the far side of the car park archway. I would ask for a much closer room if I had known in advance. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay
