Midweek stay that's good value for the area. Cosy warm bedroom with ensuite bathroom (bath with tap level showerhead). Great night's sleep in comfortable bed. Stay included an excellent cooked breakfast. I opted for poached eggs on toast with mushrooms and beans. Also ate in the restaurant for dinner and had a very tasty freshly cooked Hunters Chicken (see picture) Handy for the Whittleford Parkway train station.
Hunters Chicken in the restaurant. Delicious!

Room was spacious, lovely freestanding bath, large shower room, comfy bed but would have liked feather pillow choice. Room clean but dust in places especially breakfast room fireplace and not open on a sunday evening. Had pancakes for breakfast 1st morning, beautiful crepes & hot runny syrup, ordered the 2nd day and got thick undercooked American pancakes with thick syrup, left unimpressed.

The hotel was clean and nice to stay in. But we had a booking for the Sunday night. And was not informed that the bar and Resturant closed at 18:00. Not good as we did not finish work till 18:00. So that did spoil our stay.
