Very quiet homely feel. I would have preferred a shower to a bath and did not find it easy to get in and out of the bath to use the overhead shower. I was glad of the grab handles. Not sure if my room (102) was classed as a disabled room, but if it was, a vertical handrail in the bath would have been helpful. Breakfast was adequate but only toast available, no rolls. On the whole, I enjoyed my stay

Our room should have been cleaned on Saturday. We went out twice during the day and left the door hanger on the outside. There was cleaning stuff outside in the corridor but no one cleaned. Then knocked the door about 4.30pm to ask if we needed anything when were getting ready to go out. The breakfast wasn't great. Cooked breakfast cold on the Saturday morning.

First room had an odd/old smell with a connecting door which was not soundproof and could clearly hear a man coughing and talking next door. Asked to be moved and were promptly, by the somewhat unwelcoming and sullen receptionist. Hotel is a tad 70s, no aircon and looking its age. TV system was limited and could do with updating to current smart tv levels. Oodles of parking. Was in a convenient location for the purpose of our weekend.

Poor hotel, would not return there.
A tired hotel, in need of modernisation. We had a very uncomfortable and squeaky bed. The bathroom!toilet door did not close, either. The meal SERVICE was good, the young waitress was on her own, but she was very pleasant and extremely helpful. Due to delivery difficulties, no lager was available, either on draft or bottled. Napkins/serviettes were not provided and the meals, while pleasant, were child sized portions.

Nice size rooms and handy location. Wifi was good so no real complaints although breakfast was poor. Eggs luke warm at best, no beans! Avoided the sausage as no guidance on whether it contained wheat or not (As coeliac I need to know) like most other hotels I stay in.
