Pool great but the web advertised a restaurant open for breakfast and dinner. Closed and not operating. Disappointing as that was one of the reasons I booked there
My kids love staying here when we do travel. Tick of approval from us ✅

Staff were friendly and fresh towels and room serviced daily.
Small room without natural lighting, badly in need of renovation. Dissapointed with poor facilities especially compared to booking, different room we had, when we stayed last year. Mould in shower, badly leaking spraying shower and hand basin taps, no lighting other than a switch near bathroom door across room from bed ... not even a bedside light; and ancient noisy aircon with no remote. Room certainly was not worth price we paid.
This property is very old and needs a makeover to bring it up to a reas

dangerous shower
The shower was extremely dangerous. The bath under the shower was slopped and there was a dip in the bath directly under the shower not large enough for your feet to fit.

Loved how clean it was.. thank you, it was awesome coming back to clean towels daily
clean bin, bed made and new soap…
However a couple weeks of things
It was a tight car park for new cars..
And needs a little update on the decor
other wise I’m so pleased on how accommodating my stay was .. thank you
The room was a little dated but suitable for our stay. Clean and a comfortable bed. Air-Con noisy so couldn't have it on and sleep. A few negatives but for the price I would stay again when in the area.
Apart from the age of the premises there appears to be none or very little upkeep of the rooms and property in general.
The website advertises a Dining Room. Whe I asked for directions I was advised that they had Not re opened the Dining Room since COVID.
After driving all day the last thing I wanted to do was drive to the “cheap pub dow the road” which I was advised to try.
Will not return to this place. They really need to change the website as they are falsely advertising.
