Solid Stay with a Great Breakfast
The breakfast selection included many cereals and fresh bread. The staff were very friendly. They provided plenty of tea and coffee. The room had a sofa and TV. There were also plenty of towels. I found the location great for visiting the Spa.
I requested gluten-free bread in two emails, however none was available on the first day. I was told that the office and the kitchen don't communicate. It was quite frustrating.

I found the staff VERY friendly. The room offered ample tea, coffee, and even hot chocolate. There were plenty of towels and the beds were really comfortable with many pillows. Breakfast provided a huge choice of cereals, jams, and fresh bread. The hot food order was simple.
The hotel rooms needed some updates. I noticed a large crack in the bathroom and the rubber around the bath looked discoloured.
