Hotel is clean, staff very attentive, bed very comfortable and bathroom clean. Very good breakfast, actually too much if you have the full English. Hotel is a little tired in places, but provides excellent value for money. If, like us ypu only use a hotel to sleep, I would highly recommend this place. A little way outside the town centre, about a 25 min walk, which is reflected in the excellent value for money. Hotel has a large car park
