Mostly very good, the room was a little cramped and the kettle had to be used on the carpet as the lead was too short to plug into the socket, just a little uncomfortable on the safety side but apart from that we had a nice stay, thanks

We were warmly welcomed, however, the room we were allocated smelt strongly of stale cigarettes, although otherwise clean! We were promply offered an alternative room, which was fine. Parking on site was good - you just have to register with reception & put a ticket in the car. Breakfast was good. It was very conveniently situated for the centre of town & an easy walk to the Anvil.The hotel seemed a little dated & some of the fixtures could do with some tlc.

I just spent one night following a wedding. It was after 9pm when I arrived but the girl on reception was very welcoming at the end of the day ! My room was fine but the bathroom cramped and it was quite hot and the window could not be opened more than small distance. Breakfast was fine and again the staff member helpful and friendly.
