The property was very dated and in need of TLC ( some decorating was being carried out on a well worn reception). The room itself was not very good marked walls freezing cold bathroom and just a chair so wobbly afraid to sit on Before anyone askes why not complain i was there due to a bereavement and just wanted peace and quiet I have stayed in a lot worse places but was really disappointed and was expecting a lot better I could say more but !!!!

Melanie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was clean but in need of some updating. Nice furniture but very uncomfortable mattress. Sign saying close bathroom door as steam could cause fire alarm to go off. However, foil stuck over vent which could account for mould. More like a motel than hotel as rooms are in annex around car park. Not an issue but just dont expect to be in main building. Noisy as on main road, take ear plugs if light sleeper. Cannot comment on bar or restaurant as didn't use them . Check in was speedy if not exactly welcoming. Same with checkout. No one asked how my stay was. Wouldn't stay there again but that was because i wwas in the area fir a specific event that is unlikely to be tepeated.

The rooms were a bit dated but was fine and practical as a place to stay briefly. Evening food was great, bit chaotic at breakfast though!
