This hotel was clean, the rooms well sized and the staff helpful. The hotel looks like it belongs to a different decade and needs to be refreshed. I note previous management comments that rooms have been regularly upgraded, but that's not how it looks. Breakfast was pretty average. Would be worth it for £40 b&b or less. Sits between two...

The hotel staff were extremely helpful and really pleasant. The breakfast selection was very good. We ordered porridge each morning and it was freshly cooked. The decor is a little dated and could do with a face lift. The sound proofing between the rooms I found very poor which made sleeping difficult. More

Room 21 could do with a new larger tv or a paiute of binoculars and a new mattress. Room 8 has one of the comfiest beds I've used. Breakfast has been fine. Good choice of decent food. I'd like to...

Thank you for your positive feedback and also your comments about room 21. This room is actually one of the nicest rooms in the hotel and clearly it would be even better if we replaced the TV. As a regular guest in the hotel we would be only too happy to allocate you the same room every time and if... More
