Bedroom, bathroom, towels and bedding all clean, beds comfy and everything worked. Room was warm though we did have to remind them one evening as the heating had gone off. Freeview TV and kettle with tea/coffee-making stuff but otherwise little in the way of extras - no biscuits or bottled water and no shampoo etc. Main road outside surprisingly very... More

Stayed one night in this hotel before Christmas. On first impressions we thought it was ok even if the cleanliness of the room was a bit to be desired but would do for just a night. When we came back from our evening out and pulled the bedding back the sheets hadnt been changed from the previous guest. There was... More

Having read reviews of the hotel (after I had booked) on here, I wasn't of the opinion that my stay would be fantastic. However, I have nothing to complain about. The room and bathroom was clean, the bed was fine, and the included full english breakfast was good aswell. For £55 I wouldn't knock much about this hotel. It could... More

This is the worst hotel / B & B my husband & I have ever stayed in. We arrived early so didn't expect our room to be ready. We were asked to come back which we were happy to do. But when we did an hour after we were expected, the staff weren't sure if our room was ready. Our... More

If you are happy to turn on a tap and get hot water or switch on a light be enlightened then this place will do nicely. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good however, If you like clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, non-sticky carpets, peace and quiet, bath handles that will support you and showers that work above knee height then...

The staff in the hotel was friendly and the food was good and hot.The hotel was situated just outside the Town Centre at the bottom of a hill, but it was easy walking even though I am disabled and walk with a stick. On the way up the hill there were restaurants such as ASK and STRADA and a Tapas... More

I am glad we only booked for one night because I couldn't have stayed another. The carpet in the bedroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in 50 years! The room was very basic and the cental heating was on and made the room stuffy and too hot. The staff ignore you and you have to wait 15 minutes sitting... More

He booked us in, gave us a TV remote control and took us to our room on the ground floor. A twin bed room with shower. good things: -Breakfast was OK and freshly... More

I can't fault it - for the price. Nice old hotel with lovely staff. Debbie and Margaret were smiley, helpful and efficient. Room was basic, but clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Breakfast was filling and service very quick. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel - this is not it - but for a 2... More
