Great location and peaceful

Great location and peaceful. Great to have a restaurant, friendly staff and lovely food. Room did the job. It would be good to have the option of turning radiator off - even when off mine was still very hot, which I didn’t need. The window was open for the duration. The bathroom fan was noisy but ineffective and the towel rail didn’t work.

Not bad

Staff very helpful but obviously the place is in the middle of a long renovation. Bed comfy and the site is peaceful at night. Not many sockets for kettle and so on. Room felt half done as bathroom showed signs of age even though bedroom looked newer.

Positives: Staff were welcoming and friendly. Beds were comfortable and the room was good value. No frills hotel which was perfect as we just needed somewhere to crash for the night Negatives: There was a slight smell from the bathroom upon arrival. It was a little tricky to navigate to the hotel.

The bed & pillows were very firm, we both woke up with neck ache! The toilet was filthy, needed a good clean with a lot of bleach. Broken tiles in the bathroom and stained. A good refurbishment is desperately needed. Staff friendly in the restaurant in the evening and also on the reception desk.

Nice size room for a family of 4. We enjoyed our stay and the surroundings. I would say there needs to be better signage to the reception area for when arriving in the evening.
