Just stayed for a night so hard to form an educated opinion on the hotel. It was clean, probably could do with some modernisation but at this price it was definitely adequate. The staff and the food were excellent though

Excellent hotel for attending a wedding

Very good location for the wedding and a reasonable rate for the night. Very comfy bed and good shower. The pub lunch was very tasty and excellently cooked, fish and chips and scampi were delicious. The car park at the back was welcome as limiting parking in the town.

OK, the venue is not going to be The Savoy. It is basic an ideally placed to get around the town, which I found very pleasent. Parking is good and no problem. However, parts of the room we stayed in were less than adequate. Draws missing and broken, and then put at the back of the room. The condtion of the furniture was of very poor condition. But, what annoyed and frustrated me the most was there was no remote for the TV. When leaving we asked one of the cleaners where it was, as we may have not found it. NO, they told me it was stolen, but not replaced. Its a shame, as the shower room was very clean. The beds were OK, and the sheets were very clean. Would I stay there again? Yes I would, as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Stay away

We are both pensioners and were put on the top floor with no offer of help with our bags up steep stairs the room was a disgrace it was small like a cupboard the draws were all broken with one just threw behind the tv the bathroom was like a broom cupboard no coat where to hang towel also no coat hangers to hang our clothes.We asked to be moved to another room which they obliged however it was no better it was bigger but our clothes got covered in dust due to lack of cleaning and had to wedge the windows open with a bit of wood to keep them open There is no breakfast no conversation with owner never asked are we enjoying our stay or information about local attractions just did not engage with us dont know how it can be classed as a hotel Basil Fawlty comes to mind.

Room had 2 mugs, both of which were dirty with a strange yellow crusting along the lip and needed a clean. Curtains could do with being blackout, let loads of streetlight in.
