the food was acceptable.
The parking situation was awful. Only a few usable spaces existed. breakfast was not set one morning. A staff member refused to handle it and passed it off to someone else.

fantastic stay!
delicious pudding friendly staff quiet sleep
I enjoyed the food so much. My wife especially loved the sticky toffee pudding. the staff were always friendly and helpful . it was a little surprising that we slept well directly above the bar, great.
the water pressure in the shower was a bit weak, making it hard to rinse off soap properly.

hot water unresolved issue
the food was ok.
i was disappointed because the shower lacked hot water, a problem others seemed to experience too. staff looked aware, yet nothing was done about it, a real shame. this impacted my stay negatively and its just not good enough.
