I liked how the hotel was pet friendly and optional for pet owners to have there dog. I think more hotels should be like this. I did not like that after reception was closed you couldnt acess anything such as milk, tea, coffee or facilities such as the roof top tearrace bbq area to smoke or that there was no balcony in the single bed standard room. Made the room have no air flow.

No microwave cookware, luckily we took some with us. TV in wrong position Only 1 lounge chair Considering how much we paid thought we would have had a balcony. Wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're here for work, unaware it wasn't for family holiday

Property in good central location , room supplied was overlooking a restaurant roof with extraction fans going to all hours, no screen on small balcony with no view. Bed was hard, old and uncomfortable, amenities disjointed from living area and set out like a nursing home. Booked in for three days checked out next morning no refund.
