Very convenient location. Plenty of shops, supermarket and a pub. Large room, (triple room- 1 double & 1 single) Room clean but a little tired and needs a new carpet. Very comfortable bed. Easy parking 5 minute walk away, free overnight. Helpful staff, great breakfast. Ideal for a night and would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
All the staff where polite and helpful, it just probably my over sights that I didn’t know this is a pub and a busy one, it was 1 in the morning with music playing that I emailed the pub to ask when things would quiet down and my young child couldn’t sleep. Very basic room, screw on the floor, cracks in the walls, dirty toilet and bath.
