8/10 Very good

We had a family room and there was plenty of space in the rooms, with a separate room with a single bed and TV. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean. We only had a short stay and this met our needs. Staff were really friendly and helpful

Beautiful hotel very welcoming will definitely be back
Kealy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Had to wait for about 25 minutes at reception to check in. Was given a room with poor lighting which didn't look anything like the pictures of the double room I booked. Was small and depressing. After asking for another room, was provided with a much more spacious one but the decor and the whole room was very dated. The windows were quite dirty, there were cracked tiles in the bathroom, the lock on the bathroom door was broken as someone seems to have forced their entry in there, the floor was completely uneven.
Ioan, 1-night trip

1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was generally clean and pleasant, staff were friendly and helpful. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was it has a pool, however after booking I received a message from on hotels.com from the hotel saying the pool has been shut since August, slightly disappointed by that so didn’t pack my trunks. However on arrival it became apparent this wasn’t the case and the pool and other leisure facilities were actually open! So denied a morning swim.
Jacob, 1-night trip

Friendly staff and brilliant hotel would definitely stay again
Nathan, 2-night trip

Stayed for 3 nights Sunday 27th July to Wednesday the 30th. Found the hotel to be above expectations due to some of the reviews I had read. The room was very clean and tidy, bed very comfortable. The hotel I thought was a wonderful old building in good condition. would definately stay there again.
