Our stay was good and the room was okay. Overall, everything was fine. However, I faced two issues. First, the reception and lounge area had a very strong smell, which was quite unpleasant. Second, the bathroom door in my room did not have a lock.
Staff were wonderful, very happy with big smiles and keeping the hotel spotless. Beds were super comfortable, breakfast was continental style but was filling and a great start to the day.
Clean basic room with everything you need for an overnight stay. Great inclusion of breakfast too. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great cafe across the road too!

Conveniently sited between the centre and the sites.
The room is very sparsely furnished. The mattress feels like it’s very old, breakfast was poor at best and the only coffee available at breakfast was instant. The staff was friendly. We will not stay there again

Lovely older style hotel with friendly check-in and clean spacious room with everything you needed.
Breakfast was a let down, out of date yoghurt, milk and no bread for toast. Otherwise really nice stay.
