Stopped 2 nights,room was tidy and clean, parking was right outside the room plenty of parking available, we were little bit early for booking in the young man on reception came out to meet us and couldn't do enough for us to settle in, Breakfast was really good plenty of choice, and I must say the pretty young lady that was on duty in the restaurant was very helpful and cooked a lovely English breakfast, sincerely hope things get better for you in the future.

The room had bed bugs. The receptionist was extremely nice and helped us with a refund. The rooms are decent for a one to two night stay and looked clean. When we removed the sheets, they were stained with a brownish color and bed bugs starting crawling from the carpet. Nice staff but the amenities were not clean. They tried to accommodate us to another room but the other beds were also stained and had a humid smell.

The room, while dated, was spotless. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. Only issue I had was I needed 2 pillows and reception was a bit too far away for me to go get one. The staff were so helpful and it was a pleasant stay. Breakfast was fantastic.

The room was clean and tidy but in need of a refurbishment. A cooling fan would be a good asset to the room. The breakfast was perfect. The staff were perfect. I would stay again.

There was no proper bar at the time of my visit, but no matter. I know that this is now all sorted. Great room, plenty of workspace to set up my kit. Comfy bed. Plenty of hanging space. Good sized bathroom. Quiet location. Would recommend.
