I'll get the reason for the 4 vs. 5 star review out of the way: our room smelled as if something had died in there. Truly, the smell was unholy. However, it was late when we arrived and we didn't want to do much more than fall into bed, so to be fair, we didn't give the desk staff an opportunity to move us, etc.
Other than the rank smell, the room was clean, the bathroom was large, the hot water was quick to arrive in the shower, plentiful, and the water pressure was superb.
My husband and I had breakfast before leaving, and I can honestly say that it was a beautifully cooked full breakfast, and very reasonably priced at £6.95 per person. Also, the coffee was absolutely superb! Fresh, hot, and served with real cream.
The staff were all very friendly, and more than happy to help. I will definitely stay here again when in the area, which is often-ish as its where my in-laws live. read more
