Arrival was swift and easy, then shown to room in building next door, which wasn't a problem. Room 17 pretty small, small bathroom and sink in the bedroom. All looked clean and tidy apart from the seat at the desk and the information booklet which both need attention.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room that we booked was not as advertised on the website, we chose a superior double as not too many stairs but the room we were given was another flight of stairs up. Had to phone the hotel number as no one available to talk to in person but in saying that was quickly resolved and a ground floor room was thankfully available. I mentioned website as also advertised a lounge/bar for guests but this apparently had not been open since Covid! Suggested website requires updating. Breakfast included was a continental only unless upgraded for £15pp for hot food. Continental was sufficient.

Bring your own toiletries

Room was tidy, but hot. Noise from the main road and guests conversation clearly could be heard from next rooms specially after midnight. The worst part, no toiletries supplied. Therefore could not take showers for a couple of days. Even hand soap not supplied.

Gem of a place to stay

Another lovely stay. Welcoming staff who explain everything and show you to your room. Room clean and modern, albeit a little small. Everything you need. Parking is great in a quiet area. Breakfast superb
