It was an older hotel with character.. Floors a little creaky and other residents very noisy the first night . Staff we very welcoming and helpful during our stay . We had a very basic room but comfortable enough good shower and extra pillow given upon request. Will stay again.

The staff was friendly and helpful, but the front of the building was shabby and the photo online was nothing like the live version. There were no mixer taps in the sink in the very small bathroom.the shower screen needed Double DD40 for it to slide properly and the balcony was dirty and should be swept. Refurbishment is needed, apart from that, the hotel is in a lovely location, and if it is renovated i would certainly book again, and so say all of us in our group that booked

The hotel was ok for what we needed, 12 blokes on a golfing trip don't have sophisticated tastes. My biggest complaint was parking, on the first night we couldn't find anywhere to legally park within half a mile, but after about 7pm, we moved our cars right outside the hotel for free parking till 8.00 the next morning
