Awful

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Room smelt like stale beer/pub. Carpet was dirty, had hair all over it. TV didn’t work. Room advertised wasn’t the room I received. I paid for a room advertised with a bath, I got a completely different room. This hotel advertises the double rooms with the picture of their suites, false advertising!!! Food in the pub is awful too.

Original twin room was too hot. The radiator couldn’t be turned down and would have been impossible for 2 people to sleep. The reception were able to move us to a different room which was brilliant

Lovely place to stay

We had a wedding nearby so needed a place to stay and came across this place. The service and staff have been so friendly, helpful and down to earth. The room we got was spacious and clean. It had an iron and ironing board that we requested already in the room, great touch. It had a rv, tea and coffee selection with a kettle and a complimenatry sparkling water. The bed was great, really comfortable with thick sheets and pillows. Despite being on the ground floor the windows kept the outside noise out. The bathroom had a shower and bath combo, where the shower head was super powerful! Nice complimentary toiletries too. We had dinner and breakfast there, both timesbwere lovely. The food and service was exceptional. The atmosphere in the restaurant was chilled and relaxing. The few negatives that we had were the toilet lid and seat didn’t stay up, so made it a bit of challenege to pee standing up. There wasn’t much shelf space for the toiletries, so had to workaround that. There is no air conditioning, which would have been nice as the room gets a vit hot now and again. But these are small negatives and can't fault the amazing service and place that this place is.
