Friendly staff, although Hotel access seems a bit like a backup plan. Heading in behind the bar to get to the rooms. The showers also were iffy on temperature, solid temp for first few mins, then ice cold and steaming hot cycles.

A friendly place to stay

We stayed one night during the week. Staff were friendly and helpful and our room was clean with two comfy single beds. Tasty food in the bar downstairs, seems popular with local folks. Plenty of eating tables. An interesting 30 minute walk down the famous trendy Gloucester Road will get you to the centre.
