Dragonfly
Lovely hotel. Room and bathroom were very clean. Bar area was pleasant and reasonably priced. Inly let down was that the food service was a bit slow, we waited about 50 minutes. Lots of people were waiting for meals then they all came out in one go.

We stayed for the evening son incorporated an afternoon lunch / dinner and must say the food was only average. The breakfast the following morning was terrible and because we didn’t arrive till 8.40 am some of the choices were not even available having presumably run out

Not the best experience
It's clearly a hotel running to a tight budget. Dinner in the evening was ruined as the kitchen 'lost our order' - after 50 minutes of waiting we had to re-order! Room was okay - but didn't get serviced, even with the 'Please Service my room' label hung on door. For similar price could have stayed at Holiday Inn...

What a lovely hotel - couldn't fault it. Had never heard of the brand of hotel before, but all was good. Very quiet hotel so had a peaceful sleep. We eat there too and again, couldn't fault the food or staff - would definitely use this brand of hotel again

The roadworks on the motorway that take you to the exit junction are horrendous, stay in the left lane as soon as your map's tell you it's approaching. I had to come off and go back on myself, glad the bar was open when I arrived!
