10/10 Excellent
"The room was large with good amenities- kettle, bar fridge (with milk, water bottles), iron, pod coffee machine. Hotel also has a laundry, gym and pool. The standout was the breakfast buffet. There was a good selection of food, including fresh fruit, cereal, pastries, pancakes, bread and cooked breakfast foods. Also juices and tea and coffee. Food was replaced regularly. We ate at the bistro in the afternoon. There was a service and food were excellent. We got a 10% discount and a free drink. Wonderful value for money. There is also a secure car park for guests. My only criticism is the shower didn’t have very good pressure and our rooms were noisy due to location near the car park"
