Lovely friendly staff, great informative check in. We had a really lovely meal in the pub, food was hot and didn’t have to wait long at all. Situated near a small retail park, very quiet/peaceful. Hotel rooms spacious and very clean however the hotel as a whole including the room we were in could do with a little money spent on it. Mattress’ are very soft!!

We only stayed for two nights but would stay again. The room was small but adequate for our 2 night stay, modern layout, nicely furnished & a with a bath as well as shower in the en-suite (which is particularly appreciated by someone who struggles with back pain & struggles to stand up for long to shower). Overall the room was very clean & tidy apart from one thing which I feel does need a mention shower curtain which smelt very unpleasant having been left to dry with no airflow. This could be easily remedied if the when the housekeeper brings clean towels, bathmat etc a fresh shower curtain was put up too. It would only take a couple of minutes to do this & would I’m sure be appreciated by the incoming guest.
