Not worth £150
So I think the rooms must vary greatly, we were staying for a wedding and some people said there rooms were nice and modern with good showers, our was small, boiling hot and dated with not enough hot water for us both to have a shower. When we arrived late at night after the wedding the window was wide open and it was still boiling hot, we slept on top of the bed with the window and curtains open, not a great nights sleep followed by a very disappointing shower in a not at all modern bathroom

Room was like a hot house, ghastly attached bath/shower gel which one could not reach from a bathing position. No pressure from shower head for an actual shower, iron burns on the carpet. Had a terrible night. Nice night manager and good sized towels

Excellent breakfast served by very accommodating staff. The room was clean and airy. My only moan was that the shower took a long time to heat and had very little pressure and the bath that it was over was too narrow naking it difficult yo move.

Lovely staff
Staff were lovely. Our room was big, with a big bath and separate shower. Breakfast was lovely and lots of choice. The only issue was the heating was on, during a hot weekend in mid May and the whole hotel was very warm but they did give out fans and open the windows so it wasn’t unbearable.
