The hotel was in a great location for the town and plenty of free parking outside. We stayed in a standard family room 108. We stayed in the summer and the room was sweltering. You can hardly open the windows so there is no air circulating and no air conditioned. They did supply a tiny fan but it didn't really help. The bed and towels were very clean. But the overall room felt dusty and old and could do with some work. There were stains all over the walls and ceiling, the paintwork and walls were cracked and chipped. Also on the bathroom floor there was alot of hair on the floor so I think the cleaner might have forgot to run the hoover through there, which was a bit grim! The lady who greeted us at reception was lovely and friendly but we didn't see anyone on the Sunday at check out as left quite early.

Great friendly staff. Good sized apartment. Overall great stay with a lovely village location. Park very close for exercising our dog (must be on leads, which suits ours) Apartment requires a little upgrading work ;just pipes out of the bathroom wall no radiator/towel rail with no where to hang towels in bathroom, some water marks in hallway from upstairs ( we presume) and some stains to carpet and minor stains on couch. My daughter struggled with the zip together bed middle ridges and felt the mattress slipped to the front opening side. All in all we did enjoy the stay and would stay again. Thanks

Overall acceptable

We were looking for a basic nights stay and that is what we got. No food at the location (an oversight on my part when booking), but the beds were comfy. Walls a trifle thin, staff very friendly. Plenty of parking.

Pleasant stay

Lovely room at the top of the building very clean on the inside, so don’t be fooled by the state of the outside. It was dead quiet, no food available but options in close vicinity. Lovely welcome. Shower a bit tricky to work out but once you do plenty of hot water.
