The beds and pillows were clean and comfy, the shower was nice, bathroom has been updated. We were in room 115 and the rug was absolutely disgusting!! We would not put our feet on it nor any of our baggage. We ended up putting the blanket from the bed down to cover it as it made us ill just looking at it. It would be for this reason only as everything else was good but we would not reccommend this stay. Hopefully the rugs will be replaced.

The area around the outside of the hotel and where you parked your car was a bit dirty. The property itself was OK but when we arrived it looked closed up and not very inviting.

Nice room and bathroom. There appeared to be a lack of staff for the number of people staying. This was very evident at breakfast on the Sunday. The bar closing at 9pm was also very dissapointing

Value for money

I was not expecting a lot when I booked but I was pleasantly surprised both by the service I received from the very friendly, helpful staff and how comfortable the bed was although the room was small there was plenty of storage. Everywhere was well maintained and spotlessly clean.

We were in a small double which was ok for what we paid but there was a crack in the sink, shower and floor tiles as well as a trip hazard with the carpet loose upon entry to the room. Room was very cosy when we arrived but heating was off both mornings even though it was very frosty conditions. Breakfast was filling and good selection.

Our room was lovely - massive, spotless clean BUT the temperature of the room was close to that of a Sauna And there was no way to turn the heating down or off. Staff wonderful. Accommodation in every other way great. I had to go and sit outside the place was so hot. I overheard other hotel guests also complaining of the rediculous heat. I did tell reception who said she had to phone the manager. The response was that it couldn’t be switched off as other guests would be cold.

The room was clean but the bed was very hard. We didn't get a good nights sleep. Also the property is in need of some tlc and general freshening up. There was only one server at breakfast with a full coach tour in, it was very unfair for her. She did her best but was clearly under a lot of pressure.

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. She gave us directions to a great restaurant. My personal favorite was the extra large shower with endless hot water.
