The rooms were very tired looking. Stains on carpet. Paper peeling off the walls. Inadequate power plugs. Had to put kettle on floor to boil it. Had to sit on floor to dry my hair as flex on the hair dryer was not very long and the power point was near the floor. Bed was up against the wall on one side which was not ideal for 2 people sharing.

Pleasant experience
Lovely welcome from reception. Clean room, super comfortable bed. Easy parking. Fairly priced bar with seating outside. Only disappointment was being unable to use pool for a swim, we had rung the day before but t was already fully booked- put onto reserve list but no joy. Understand Covid regs etc but sorry that even prebooking didn't work! Super stay great price

Great place for an affordable weekend break
Oberall very pleased with our stay. Our room was lovely and clean and the breakfast got us off to a great start the bext day. One of our windows disnt shut properly which let insome road noise and there were several flickering lights out in the cordidor that needed attention. We were informed after booking that our room was in part of the building that was about to get refurbished so we didnt mind much. Will definitely stay there again!

Good hotel. The members of staff who we met know what customer service really mean. The hotel was quiet because of the restrictions, but the front desk was manned at all times. The were all excellent. The hotel could do with some renovations, but still it was excellent service all round.

The hotel was good. Friendly welcome explaining the Covid rules. First night thermostatic tap not working so no hot water, cold shower, too tired and late to complain. Cold shower in morning informed reception and was moved to another room. Internet good first night. Second night non existent.comfortable bed and pillows. Overall good value.
