Stayed here for 1 night as we booked the night before bank holiday and everywhere else was booked. It was sleepable, easy enough to live in for 1 night. But otherwise unclean, the bedding on one bed had stains, the shower had hair in it, and the cavity between the wall and shower cubicle was choc full of cobwebs, and the bathroom door handle was just about hanging in there.

Lovely room, beds let it down.

Lovely big light airy room. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, two of the beds squeaky badly. I slept on the (comfortable) matress in the floor. A shame as otherwise, it was a lovely place! An easy fix i would think.
