Unfortunately the hot weather spoilt this stay. The room 304 was like Satans Inferno - so hot - the provided fan only moved hot air around - air con would have been so much better. Nearly went down to sleep in reception which is air conditioned.

Family get together

We enjoyed our stay and were made to feel welcome. The downside of our stay was the fact the room was too hot. With no Air conditioning and the necessary window restriction we found it difficult to sleep.

No AC and older hotel…

It was ok. Room was small for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Forgot no AC and it was ridiculously hot during a heat wave. They did provide a small fan which was helpful but there were not very many outlets in the room to charge phones etc. we only stayed one night so we made it work. But outside hotel was a cute pub - bee keepers or something. Food & beer was excellent and we could just walk over. Fish n chips sooo good!!

An ok stay but uncomfortably hot with no AC

Room was set up with 2 cots instead of sofa bed but this was quickly resolved by hotel staff. Carpets had suspect marks (dog friendly room) and room didn’t smell so good. A/C not working and overheard other guests complaining about the same. Average buffet breakfast but was free so I guess you get what you pay for. £30 dog fee seemed bit steep.
