Stayed in the original building room, Simpkins. People in opposite room smoked heavily at the emergency door entrance, with the door open. Corridor filled with smoke smell which ended up filling room. Moved to a room further down corridor, next night, result the same.

Check in was quick and efficient - and we found we had been upgraded to an upstairs Queen suite. It was spacious, the bed very comfortable and facilities good. Tv, fridge, microwave, kettle, crockery, cutlery and some glassware provided. Coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and chocolate replenished each day. The bathroom was large with a powerful shower. Hot water was plentiful. We chose The Com Plex due to its location just off the main street. Two supermarkets were within easy walking distance. There were plenty of places to eat nearby. We were so pleased that we stayed here and would highly recommend.
