The pictures of the room online do not reflect reality. Room was very tired and run down, carpets very old, paint peeling off the wall below the room window. This hotel is very run down.

Room not clean. No toilet paper, partial draining shower. No coffee - only an unpleasant odour. Thankfully the window opened and the bathroom fan worked. 1 star rating at best

Poor hot water supply for showering, had a tepid water shower, my wife didn’t shower because of water temperature, basically no improvement since our last visit. I informed reception and they both looked at each other and in unison replied O’ yes we will inform maintenance ! knowing full well the poor water temperature is a ongoing issue! Doh!

Good sized lovely looking hotel. Comfortable spacious room (suite) but in need of a refurb overall. The fixed menu 'table d'hôte' wasn't great but the breakfast was excellent. Good service and friendly staff. A 10 minute walk into town. If you want to walk, turn right as you exit the front door and you'll see a path down to the road.

Great hotel in an excellent location, just a short walk from the station. The pool and jacuzzi are lovely, and while the hotel could use a little TLC, it only adds to its charm. The breakfast was excellent – highly recommended. Thank you 😊

Solid nights sleep.

Staff were attentive and knowledgeable about the area. Leisure facilities were great. Room was very spacious although shower head was very narrow and felt like a hose rather than a shower. But other than that, no complaints.
