The property is tired at best. Bench seats had foam poking out where the fabric was worn. The bedroom window wouldn't stay open, so very hot and airless. Unpleasant and very loud music playing right outside the room. Shower dreadful: just a trickle at best and the thermostat didn't work, so it was 'guess the temperature' on the dial - cold/hot didn't seem to matter. Breakfast was just appalling. No non-dairy alternatives available, so had to buy my own non-dairy milk. The breakfast service was equally dreadful, e.g. no breakfast bowls or plates, so had to ask but staff hard to find. Orange juice ran out and not topped up. They couldn't even offer boiling water for tea - just a flask of hot water. All in all, this has to be the most overpriced and disappointing 'hotel' I have ever stayed in. Will definitely NOT recommend and will NEVER go there again.

Good stay, bad shower pressure.
The stay as a whole was very pleasant. The room, clean, the decor, very nice. My only 'gripe', is that the water pressure for the shower was terrible. I felt I had to run around in the shower to get wet. It was little more than a dribble and I felt I had to stand with my nose against the wall to get under the water. I took ages to have a wash!

Okay hotel
We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights in 2 rooms as a family. We had to ask for coffee and milk refills every day as these were not brought to our room by housekeeping. Also had to ask for toilet paper on one occasion. Was surprised breakfast wasn’t included for the price. Saturday night was very noisy due to a function downstairs. That said, staff were friendly and helpful when we asked for anything. Might have been a more pleasant stay had we been able to use the outside area but wet weather kept us indoors and didn’t find the pub or restaurant especially hospitable. I would recommend for a stop over but not for a long stay.

The room was neat and tidy, but that's about as much praise as I can offer. I can only describe it as a poor man's Premier Inn - it's a basic place to sleep, dinner was average, breakfast was very poor. Staff were OK, friendly enough, but they were hampered by the system they were working within - it's hard to be enthusiastic when you know that you're only offering "average". The major downside was the two flights of steep spiral stairs to get to the room - not fun when carrying heavy bags. To be perfectly honest, we would have been better off finding a Premier Inn on our route. At least it makes no bones about what it is, and what it offers.

Lovely hotel
Friendly staff and lovely clean fresh room. We didn’t eat there but the food looked good. Only issue was check in and out. Had to ring the reception bell multiple times then go to bar and ask for help. If you fix this issue it will be a perfect place to stay. Would definitely go back
