We have stayed at this PPTY for over 20 yrs. Always enjoyed it, but it is getting very tired. Just needs a bit of tidying. Curtains are reasonably new but not hung properly. Not enough crockery or towels for the amount of occupants in room. However, l would stay again as the rooms are spacious and the price is rght.

No one in reception - had to phone to get the key and wait while they located someone to deliver it. Booked for two people and there was only one towel - the staff member looked surprised when we asked for a second one. Looked for a power point to plug in the bedside lamp but there was none (did find a dirty sock from a previous occupant). The bed was comfortable but staff service was non existent.

Dishes etc not washed properly, no suitcase table, to dutiesboil the water jug you have to turn off the heater, as every appliance plugs into one multi box. No kitchen sink to wash dishes along dedicated area for making hot drink or any other kitchen duties.

Was good for 1 night stay. King size bed was comfortable. Room was spacious & clean. Shower door did not fully close, fridge door may need a new seal? Good value for money.

Did not expect to see at least four shopping trundlers and a couple of road cones out of our window on the property. Property needs a general update. Staff friendly. Conviently situated, a walk to town and transport.

The property seemed nearly empty, yet we were given a room in a cold dark corner, next to the skip. The condensation was impressive. There was not enough cutlery for the number of people the room catered for.
As at 6 am, the looked door popped open of its own accord!
Unsafe.
Stay somewhere else.

The room was okay. The shower was really low on the wall, so doesn’t help if you are tall like me. There was no fan in the bathroom so everything fogged up. The toilet cistern was dripping all night. TV reception was pixelated on all channels. The heater had a broken stand.
