We were a late booking for this hotel and it was almost at capacity. That may explain why the room charge was so high - £286 for room only. Current price is c.£100.
I feel that price we paid was excessive.
The hotel was good, the reception was good. The restaurant was good, and the restaurant manager deserved a medal! She kept the whole, full restaurant served in a timely manner with what appeared to be an inexperienced staff. Well done!
