I liked the proximity to the town.Very basic. Wasn't worth the price we paid. Wasn't designed for a woman. No hooks for clothes in the bathroom and know where to put your toiletries in the shower. You would be ok if you wanted to use there's. Nothing for sanitary towles. One bin for rubbish. Member of staff on the day we arrived didn't seem very friendly. Wouldn't stop again.

You get what you pay for

Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.

Loud and noisy above the saloon

It was bound to happen. After years of Hotels.com reviews, I have experienced my worst night and would like a refund. Never should one be in a room above/adjacent to a bar (especially on Saturday night). The noise was beyond uncomfortable even for me, a very heavy sleeper. I may have gotten 3-4 hours of sleep.

So so at best

It is difficult for me to understand how places that don’t allow you into your room until mid afternoon don’t have space to store your luggage. Also there was a very poor water stream from the shower and no internet availability from the top floor.

Needs some tlc and modernising. Although in a good location it’s spoilt by the lack of decor and poor quality. The staff were very nice and helpful customers from the pub tended to smoke and chat right under our window and it was very noisy the karaoke went on till midnight.

Few staff

Rooms are above pub. Its staff deals with room bookings. If they are serving drinks and busy then you have to wait. Our toilet flush had an issue, we registered it with them but no body came to resolve during our stay.
