The room was a small basic room with no washing facilities. The bed was very comfortable, the heating was good and there was a TV. The meal we had in the dining room was very good with good friendly service. The one person communal wash room was very adequate and spacious.

We stayed in the two room apartment...each one a separate room. Excellent value. Upstairs from a great restaurant, across the road from the nor-wester Cafe (an excellent cafe). For the money this property is basically perfect.

An excellent and friendly hotel for an overnight stay. While the bedroom was very small it was warm and comfortable, while the help-yourself kitchen with hot drink and breakfast items was an excellent idea.

Parking OK. Location of reception difficult to find but once found, in the bar, ended up with a warm and guided tour to my room. Adequate sized room and after a little testing the necessary heating on a cold day, operated effectively. With a room at the front, overlooking the main SH 1, the windows could do with double glazing. The kitchen facilities worked after an explanation with most provisions for a continent breakfast in a central ‘kitchen’ then it was just ‘help yourselves’ and take to your room. Basic comment, I would stay again!

Mostly clean room. Bin hadn’t been emptied of a drink can and there was a ‘toffee pop’ biscuit under the chair. Shared bathroom which I didn’t think I was getting when I booked the room. Poor breakfast choices. Could not access the fire escape from the room as the window only opened about three inches. Frightening safety issue. The room booklet stated the restaurant was closed Monday and a Tuesday when in fact this was not true and had not been updated - I would not be surprised if people ate elsewhere as a consequence. One of the staff told me this was meant to be updated when the new owners took over last year but I thought this was a small detail which was sloppy and could lead to financial loss.
