Lovely friendly staff during our stay. Nice pool facilities, didn't use the gym but it looked well stocked. Food was nice, especially the breakfast and nothing was too much to organise for us. Garage parking was easy to locate and property is near to shopping areas and more pubs and restaurants. Would stay again.

Hotel was nice staff friendly. Good location. Sadly the rooms and dinning room for breakfast was quite in need of some TLC. Breakfast pretty basic, wouldn’t pay again to have that. Bathroom was odd, a really low sink, with shower over the bath and no disabled grip bars. Gym looked good, but as my daughter is 16 she wasn’t allowed in as it was for ages 18+ Good location, not far from the centre but a lot of restaurants closed early in the week

The hotel has incredible viewing as location on river Kant. Also easy parking and walking around. The only thing wasn't great accessibility for disabled people. Also the pool and jacuzzi was very small. Apart from that all good

We stayed for one night as a stop over on our way back from Scotland to the South Coast. It was very good for our purposes with a convenient parking space. The disadvantage was the hot weather and trying to sleep with no air conditioning or fridge in the room for a cold drink. The breakfast wasn’t brilliant with lots of uncleared tables and stained cups. Think the dishwasher wasn’t working properly maybe? Staff were friendly and excellent in their roles. It’s just all a bit tired. It smelt of stale food when we arrived. Very hot and smothering inside the building. I would not recommend a visit here in the Summer. It was value for money though and we were fine for one night. Our room had a nice view of the river.
