"As expected, a very comfortable stay. Howe, it was rather odd and annoying to find out that room heating temperature was centrally controlled. You had to go to reception to tell them your room no. and they would adjust your preference!! Annoying and most unusual …never encountered this before. Otherwise all good."

To be charged £15 a night for parking as we didn't book directly is ridiculous as therebis free parking on the road outside and a m permit carpark next door that charges less."
