Rubbish
The parking at this hotel is terrible you have no allocated parking and therefore can’t park near the room. Our room was upstairs and difficult to get to noisy old and expensive.

Take your own pillow!
A very tired hotel room. Desperately needs a makeover - particularly the bathroom. I wish I’d taken my own pillow, as I usually do, but we were only staying for one night, so I didn’t bother - big mistake. There wasn’t a decent pillow among 6 of them in the room! The bed would be comfortable if a mattress topper was added. The restaurant was excellent though. Dinner last night was amazing as was the service. Breakfast was basic but enough.

We were happy with all aspects of our stay. Just a minor thing, the floor mat and area outside the door was covered in leaves and dirt making me wonder how clean the room was going to be. Secondly we were disappointed that the tea making facilities didn't have biscuits. We had a very long day with road closures and the first thing we like on arrival is a cup of tea and biscuits.

Great staff, but disappointing room.
Great location, friendly staff, but beneath the surface is a very shabby hotel. The room was just worn out and they had literally slapped some paint around to make it look brighter, but looking just a bit closer and you could see that it was extremely shoddy, even comical in some places. The room was dusty with spider webs in the corners and scuffing all over the walls. I leave my final comment for the bathroom. I am fine with an older bathroom which was clean and functional, but it smelled of old sewage. Not enough to be overpowering, but enough for you to not want to use the bathroom. It's a real pity because on the surface the hotel looks great and you can see that the staff are lovely and doing their best, but the facility needs a serious revamp.

Great little place to stop over at!
A good little stop over! Well appointed rooms and mini bar, and the hot food available for breakfast is really good.
