Business trip
Good location for my trip, good parking and electric charging points. Rooms are acceptable, however, full of dust. The TV was thick in dust as were lampshade. Room was very hot even with no heating on. Didn’t have a remote for TV and asked twice at reception but didn’t receive one, so couldn’t use it. Probably a 3star stay at best

Dissapointing
Feel dissapointed i booked this hotel as feel it was massively mis sold! The rooms were extremely basic with TWO plug sockets! Freezing cold small, the duvet was paper thin, the bar on the side of the hotel was ridiculously expensive! We only stayed so we could get an early start for the airport but if id have booked for a weekend away i would have left! Food terrible! We got chatting to a couple and the bar closed at about quart to 11..no warning, so we were told go to reception they will serve you, well the woman on reception looked furious and charged us way over the odds for another drink! Never again.

Have stayed here many times before but this room was smaller than previously - it only had 2 power points so you had to decide between TV, kettle or charging your phone! The only other points were round pin!!! Room was also exceptionally hot
Having the EV charger makes up for the minor issues though
