Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Lovely decor in hotel, really friendly staff, nice breakfast.
The price is very accessible, but the walls are super thin, the water pressure from the shower was terrible, and a lot of very loud guests late into the night.
Awful rooms which were not clean, breakfast not great. Staff were lovely though. Had 4 nights booked. Checked out after 1 night & got alternative accommodation.
Excellent hotel, always stay here as close to family.Staff always helpful

Nice hotel, pleasant staff, clean and guests are well provided for. A little tired in places but appearances suggest the owners try to keep up with repairs and decoration. Would stay again.

Room was clean, very soft bed. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Partly booked due to high reflection of breakfast. This was the most disappointing part of the stay. It was poor sadly low quality sausages, food was not a good enough standard I’m afraid.
Very polite and helpful, good facilities and food was good as well, well recommend for a stay.

The restaurant was closed I was directed to a great Italian restaurant a few hundred yards away.
Walls are thin and the halls are laminate so every suitcase that’s trundled along the hall outside is like a jumbo jet taxiing past
