Was very disappointed when found long dark hair strands on pillowcase. Grabbed spare pillow out of cupboard and found dirty marks on pillowcase so thought I would get other spare pillow. Looked clean but when I layed down pillow had a dirty smell to it. Shower was good. Bed was comfortable.

Friendly staff, on-site restaurant handy

Central location, walking distance to supermarket etc. Staff were welcoming and friendly, which was lovely after a long day on the road. We appreciated the on-site restaurant being open and enjoyed our meal and a glass of wine each, with our dinner.
