Staff were very polite and friendly. Few things I raised upon checkout which is just attention to detail on cleaning, overall very clean room. Plenty of parking, WiFi was on and off. Was hot weather, could open one window but not the other. Two pubs opposite where you could get some food. Overall I was happy with my visit at the price I paid, I would return.

The hotel itself could do with some upgrading, rooms need a mini fridge and bar doesnt offer rhe widest drink selection, but there is a pub across the road to make up for this. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and this definitely added to what was overall a very pleasant place to stay for one night.

I wish I could give 10 stars to this hotel, especially the staff who go above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Starting from arrival, we were welcomed with a massive smile at the front desk. I will be back at this hotel. Thnak you all.

The staff were very attentive and helpful so full marks to the staff. The room was clean and very quiet. The air conditioning didnt stay on, and kept flashing green in the night which meant we had to keep waking up to reset it. The property and furnishings were a little tired. The cooked breakfast was ok, but not hot enough which was made worse by being served on cold plates. The staff were definitely the best aspect of the hotel.

Although this hotel is slightly outdated, could probably do with a freshern up (the reception smelt a bit musky). The receptionist was lovely and the hotel staff very friendly. The bed was suprisingly comfortable and I slept well.

Property was a little dated and could do with a make over breakfast was included but we missed 1st days as didnt open till 8am and we had to leave by 7.30am to get to where we where going they did say they would arrange for us to have some croissants but nobody was around!!! Water needed to be hotter in bath room was impossible to fill bath as water not hot enough and would have taken hours to fill then be cold. Bar and restaurant where not open. Breakfast on 2nd day available had to wait to be refilled and could have done with being warmer.
