the hotel had a pleasing aesthetic, giving a warm welcome. the room exceeded my expectations in size and furnishing.
The wine prices felt frankly ridiculous. £10.90 For a glass of house wine is excessive. it does not reflect good value, especially since similar wines are much cheaper at supermarkets. they need to address this or risk losing customers.

excellent stay

coffee machine good selection fresh milk
I really appreciated the lovely room. It felt very luxurious. fresh milk was in the fridge and a coffee machine was in the room, alongside a good selection of tea. the bathroom was great with its excellent shower and well-lit mirror above the sink.
during my visit, the food portions seemed quite large. it looked a considerable amount of food was going to waste. i think smaller portions could reduce waste and still satisfy guests.
