Clean, friendly & comfortable.

Very welcoming from young lady at reception, room clean & comfortable with good shower, although could do with rubber safety mat as quite slippery. Good breakfast with quick service from same young lady, seems she was running the place single handed, a good jib shr was doing too. Would certainly stay again.

I will stay again

I have stayed here three times don’t forget to put your car registration in the car park. The back of the hotel is a lot quieter than the front Wi-Fi is good. Breakfast is nice and starts at 7 am.The only thing that needs to be sorted out are the windows I have to wedge them open with something. I will be staying again.

English breakfast is excellent. Staff is very friendly. The shower screen is only half way so water sprays outside to the wall and floor. The firedoor upstairs at the top of the stairs is kept open and the firedoor along the corridor doesn't close properly. These need attention for fire regulations.
