An excellent hotel for a one night stay. Good size bedroom with a very comfy bed. The shower was good and everywhere was super clean. A kettle with supplies was in the room. Delicious breakfast served by friendly staff. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

A lovely place to stay, the staff was very polite and helpful. The place was clean and tidy. The breakfast was good too. Sadly the room I stayed in had such low water pressure it took ages to have a shower.

My brother and I had a great stay, for a couple of nights after booking two, of their double bedded rooms, which are actually suitable for one person. The free breakfasts which are included in the price, were both delicious and of ample portions. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the bar atmosphere in the evenings. We were both very impressed with the whole set up. Not forgetting, that the price was very good as well. We would definitely stay there again.

Large clean room, but shame they lack now ‘standard’ amenities like bottled water and a coffee machine. Breakfast included but very limited choice.
