+ Very clean. Good bath and shower. Plenty of hot water. Separate toilet in the room. Plugs near bed and mirrors so can dry hair -dressing table. Staff are very friendly. Food was excellent.
− I was at the front of the hotel on the main high street. My room was exceptionally warm so I had to keep the windows open and it was very noisy at night - people out of the pubs were shouting til very late

+ Staff at reception very welcoming and helpful on arrival. Breakfast team - excellent Breakfast buffet very comprehensive and atmosphere in the dining area calm and orderly. Given copious help with wifi connection, which proved to be my device's problem, not the hotel's..
− Decor in long corridors very shabby. Only asked for the room to be cleaned once in four nights; it was done superficially - the toilet was not touched!
