Meal was lovely, no complaints at all, staff very attentive which is quite unusual, in our local Wetherspoons were the tables are left dirty and usually... More

This hotel has improved beyond all recognition since Wetherspoons took it over in 2012. Over £2m pounds has been spent on it and it has paid off. The rooms have all been upgraded and are now nice and warm and very comfortable. The food and drinks are at very competitive prices in a comfortable environment, Clearly a favourite for locals...

Why does Tripadvisor make you go for 'average' or 'very good' with nothing in between? Stayed here over the weekend, old building but rooms are 21st Century. Comfortable, clean and the staff were all very friendly & helpful. Didn't eat in the pub restaurant as we attended a wedding down the road. Breakfast was pretty good and much better value... More
