Property is in a lovely location, however.., bath plug - release mechanism is faulty so unable to drain bath, air-con - sounds like a helicopter gunship, also currently no chef on site so they are unable to serve evening meals.

Friendly staff, pleasant dining option within the hotel in quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes’ walk away from the local hospital. Rooms were clean and well maintained. No lift to upper floor. Free parking, and reasonable value when we stayed, and the breakfast was nice (extra charge).

Excellent service

First time staying here with my wife and her assistance dog. The staff were excellent from the moment we arrived, putting my wife at ease and respecting that the dog was working. For an executive room, it was a little small but had everything we needed. The breakfast was quite expensive (we didn't prebook it) but was excellent quality and, again, great service. We will definitely return.
