Well located for our needs. The staff were friendly especially Geoff the young barman, waiter and everything in between. He was always smiling and went out of his way to accommodate us.
The Resturant was lovely and food delicious.
Some evening entertainment like a musician and the candles lit in the library would showcase this hotel.
Will definitely return.

Just needed a room for the night for an event the following morning but we were pleasantly surprised. Games room (free) and swimming pool and the Bistro meant it was easy for the little one with us but it was in walking distance to the HV shops too. Great central location and facilities, friendly staff.

Only problem is the dirt in the spaces that you can’t see, behind the bed, years of dust ( somebody’s skin flakes, I assume 😳)
