Basic but comfortable. All quite dated but there's room to move and a full fridge / decent sized stove/full oven. Good heating was appreciated. Decent linen and clean beds. Bathroom floor needed a decent mop. Friendly staff. Good value.

Lucky we were only staying one night. I mean I guess you get what you pay for. Heater was terrible barely heated up lounge. No extra blankets. Plug sockets were wobbly and looked unsafe. Rooms need a huge revamp, peeling wallpaper, stains on walls and carpet. Blown light bulbs. I could go on but won't.

Below a cheap standard, and not value for money

We chose a cheap option for accommodation but this was below standard even for the price we paid. "Tired and unloved" does it too much justice. Carpets were dirty. Bed sagged. Furniture and fittings old and scruffy.
