Lovely hotel and so handy for the station opposite. I had a nice quiet room and I was delighted to have a bath as well as a shower.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall we had a lovely time. The place is just looking a bit tired and old fashioned. The decor is a mishmash of themes with some questionable colour choices and looking a bit rough round the edges. However finding a hotel that accommodates dogs is fantastic and location is great. Staff are friendly and you can tell thy work hard.
