Room was nice & modern. Good beers, food was classic pub grub. Only gave 4 stars because website said there was parking but it’s limited and only available after 11 when the pub carpark clears.

Good stay, only missing parking space

Very nice hotel, super friendly people, comfy rooms. Only issue is the parking space, very limited and some people parked behind our car, blocking our exit...but overall good stay in the middle of town with access to shopping and restaurants. Thank you!

We booked 5 Rooms. 4 we’re ok and to a reasonable standard. However one room had a strong odour that was was incredibly heavy on your chest. Possibly chemical in order to mask something. As a asthmatic it was uninhabitable and unbearable. The place was full so they could not change. Most of the night was spent on the floor of another booked room in our party. The whole experience was horrendous even for a well seasoned traveller.

Rooms are above their very busy hotel/restaurant but rooms well sound proofed so didn’t hear noise from hotel/restaurant. Room was quite small and very hot with no external windows to open. Modern and clean with nice bathroom. Hotel parking was limited and was full but paid parking around back was ok.

No window, AC wasn't working. Incredibly stuffy and hot overnight. No top sheet so had to choose between no blankets or a down comforter.
