Stayed one night prior to a hospital appointment. Parking was a problem. The hotel has a tiny car park that accepts only five or six cars. The owner directed us to an alternative car park some distance away. It appeared neither safe nor secure as it was partially hidden from the road. It was also expensive at £15 for an overnight stay and we both suffer from limited mobility.We parked on street on a single yellow line, though the owner told us not to as wardens operated from 06:00.We left shortly after 06:00 so no problem. We were pleased to find the hotel’s cafe open (for drinks only) at a late hour. The hotel has a lift and the rooms, lobby and landings were spotless and well lit. The room was also spotless and spacious. It was equipped with a kitchenette having a sink, a fridge and a microwave. The bathroom was well-finished with an excellent walk-in shower. We set the room heating controller to a comfortable temperature but the heating did not come on. We downloaded the user manual for the fiendishly complicated controller, but despite both of us having engineering degrees we were unable to get the heating to operate. By this time it was late, we had ndressed so we had to rely on shared bodily warmth. In the morning the shower worked well but there was no shower gel in the dispenser. Given the lack of parking, the lack of heating in the room and the lack of shower gel we felt 3 stars was appropriate.
