A nice hotel with on site parking, have stayed here many times. Within easy walk of town centre. Pub and separate restaurant on site. Rooms in the newer part at the back are very quiet. Great staff.

Unfortunately I thought that the Expedia description a "Club Room (Accessible room) was a normal hotel room just possibly in a different part of the hotel. It actually means wheel chair accessible and a wet room to go with it. So not one of our better stays, staff very good but hotel was full or we could have transferred to another room, however my fault, a lesson for the future.
