Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The only decent thing about this place was the breakfast and even then the staff were rude and made us feel uncomfortable by not quite being finished at 9:32. The room was dirty with a layer of dust on everything, the shower mouldy and bad smelling pillows. One of the worst places I've ever stayed in the UK and I definitely will not be returning. Skip this place and play it safe and book a chain hotel

Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location and good breakfast.
The property would be much better with a deep clean and some new towels and sheets.
Delighted with my stay! Simple but very quiet & clean single en-suite room (No.3 on 1st floor) overlooking the rear garden. Nice selection of breakfast options, pleasant manager(s) with excellent & speedy communication, parking outside, & the ‘Old Town’ within walking distance. Thanks Duncan & Mei: you’ll be my first choice the next time I visit.
Staff was very nice, helped us get our luggage inside and very friendly welcome. Showed us to our room and showed us how to use locks, and let us know to reach out for any help we needed. Breakfast was amazing.
The included breakfast is very delicious, the location can be reached by buses. Even walking.
