Parking was good, plenty of spaces and places to park. Staff helpful It was clean but no frills. I had no hot water but they fixed it and the water was hot then cold. They have no place to eat and finding a good take away to deliver was challenging. I was in a large van so hard to pop out to get food. Very basic

Hotel was old, worn, dirty and cold. There is no restaurant, and no stores nearby to get food etc. Staff was nice, but that didn’t save the experience.

Olly

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Booked very last minute as stayed 4 days away for work. Advertised as having a restaurant but then got a message after booking saying was closed. I called up and asked to see if could cancel as booked non refundable, told no. Stayed in room for 4 days, in the time no cleaning, no new towels (room had 1 bath towel only) and room was still dirty. Really poor and whilst I appreciate renovating, no excuse to leave the rooms with broken curtains; lights with no bulbs in.

Rooms are basic but clean. All linen provided (towels/sheets etc) clean. Room had recently been redecorated. Furniture could do with updating. Tea/coffee/biscuits provided. Tv with all channels. Loads of free parking. Staff helpful. It’s not luxury but you get what you pay for. We wanted convenience to be close to family and it was fit for purpose.
