Check in was quick with a friendly welcome. Entrance was clean and bright.
Room was on the ground floor, small but clean and fresh, nice touch from the hotel was the bottled water and chocolates left for us. Bathroom had shower gel & shampoo, soap and clean towels.
Our 2nd stay here and will definitely return.

Didn’t use the car park, don’t know how much was chargeable, great central location, room very clean, bathroom a bit small but that’s the only complaint. Tea, coffee downstairs, help yourself, make your own as no kettle in the room but it does state ask if you need a kettle, we was ok with nipping downstairs for a coffee then bringing it back up. Owners very polite, would return.

Good hotel.
The hotel is very nice. Its clean and well located. Only issues we had was the bed was very hard, the tv in the room was in a bad place it wouldnt normally bother us but the weather was very bad so ended up staying in the room more than we wanted and non of us could see the telly from the beds especially my child.

Pros-Great stay, good location, friendly staff, comfy bed, clean sheets/towels, complimentary toiletries were handy especially since I forgot my wash bag, free water and chocolate was appreciated, can park at the front for £10 a day.
Cons- door and window lock was broken so couldn’t open window, mould in bathroom.
Overall, cheap and cheerful, would stay again.

The room itself was cosy and good for the price. The bathroom was pretty grotty but nothing that couldn't have been sorted with some bleach, limescale remover and a good scrub. When I booked, it said online that you could reserve a car parking space but when I rang they said it wasn't possible, it was first come first served. So I ended up parking in the car park next door which was quite a bit more expensive. The welcome was friendly and I felt safe.

Parking was available at front of property for a premium price of £10 per day. Rooms are not like pictured they have clearly been altered as they were extremely dated. Many other hotels in the area a lot better and cleaner. No tv in any room no hot showers and beds like rock. Curtains where very thin and let all the light in bedding was not ironed nor where curtains. The property smelt of damp, the stairs make a terrible creaking noise you can constantly hear. Definitely in need of modernisation.
