Good comfortable stay, would use again.

Staff all excellent. Rooms clean and comfortable. Heating too hot and uncontrollable, eg no thermostatic valves. Bedroom corridor doors need silent closing. Breakfast good, evening meal adequate as limited menu and poor quality burgers. Plenty of character and bar busy.

I stayed here with my husband after a wedding. The parking was convenient and well sign posted. Staff were all amazingly friendly and polite. Everyone was very helpful. The room was clean, and well stocked. The bottles of water by the bed were a lovely touch. Shower was easy to use and had decent water pressure. Breakfast was lovely, and there were plenty of options for all dietary requirements (the vegan sausages were very nice!) Check out was a breeze. Other all, really pleasant stay, and would highly recommend.
