We stayed at this hotel recently and must say that it was clean, comfortable, quietly located and we received a friendly welcome. Yes it is a bit out of town, but we are in our fifties and it was an easy 15 minute walk to the town for us, so don't be put off. Also, I think that some of the comments about a facelift seem to have been addressed - our room was newly decorated - and everything functioned as it shoud. One of the few small hotels where there was enough piping hot water at peak times.
