I was disappointed that the bar and restaurant closed due to private functions . This was conveyed to me only after the reservation was confirmed and payment was taken. The lack of communication felt unacceptable. This significantly limited dining options, and I found it inconvenient.

decent location but disappointing breakfast

good locationexpensive parkingwatery mushroom
the hotel has a good location and i found the staff friendly.
The room was too hot, and we had to ask for a fan. breakfast was not good. The bacon was barely cooked, and the mushrooms were watery. i sent the toast back because it was just warm bread, not toasted. pre-booked parking at £35 per night felt quite expensive.
