"You get what you pay for"

4.0

convenient location. low price. parking very convenient

Rooms are basic, which you would expect for the price, but i had to move rooms due to a faulty toilet. The breakfast is fine but you aren't given a menu, you either have a cooked breakfast or not. Staff were unavailable to refill empties. We ran out of milk and none was provided for about 30 mins.

Helpfulness of the staff, I had a job interview the next day, and the owner supplied me with an iron and an area to iron my shirt.

"Good value in a quiet location with a good breakfast, efficient staff so I would stay there again"

8.0

Tidy little twin room with a desk which is always a bonus. Great breakfast. roomy car park and a quiet location. Good value for money too.

Shower could probably do with an overhaul but that's about it.

"Absolute bargain, fastidiously clean, amazing breakfast!"

8.0

Firstly, the cleanliness of this hotel could put plenty of major brand hotels to shame. My room, sheets and towels were absolutely immaculate with not a speck of dust or a mark anywhere. It was lovely. Breakfast was also amazing, a really delicious full English with toast, coffee, juice and cereal. The staff were super friendly and breakfast was a real treat. I absolutely loved my stay here and wanted to add another two nights, but they were full! No surprise, this is a complete bargain and a great experience! :) Loved It.

Sure, the decor is somewhat dated, but so what. I loved it and it really added to the experience of everything that this property is. There wasn't anything else I would add.
