Overall pretty good- room was decent size, clean, beds were comfy and breakfast was nice- the only thing that let it down a tad was the booking was for 3 people and yet there was only 2 of everything (water glass, mugs, tea bags etc).

Book in advance for dinner, small gym.

Worst stay in a hotel in years

Hotel tends to house local people as temporary accommodation whilst waiting for a house /house share . My only recommendation is stay away from the ground floor as the noise from above floors is awful ( awful to the extent that could still hear with headphones )

Stayed for 2 nights and could not fault the room and the breakfast was really good. However we decided to order a snack from the menu one evening. I ordered a sandwich, the menu stated fresh bloomer bread, brown or white, tuna, spring onion, mayonnaise and black pepper. When I received this it was 2 thin slices of 50/50 bread, no spring onion and the thinnest filling of tuna, more like spread. The charge for this was £8.00!! Definitely not worth the cost.
