"Great Location but Room Tired. Excellent Value Though"

7.0

Accommodation block is behind the main building so is relatively quiet. The car park has ample space and the rooms overlook it so good if you like to keep an eye on your vehicle. I booked a single room which had ample heating. I didnt use the free toiletries, free WiFi or included breakfast

Room is dated and the general cleanliness could be better. The bathroom could benefit with some love.

"Could be better could be worse."

6.0

Basic but comfortable in a great location, within walking distance of 3 Pubs

It's a bit dated and probably a bit overpriced for what you get.

"I found the whole experience very comfortable."

9.0

I found the hotel was very good.I haven't stayed there before and although the rooms are small,they have everything you need. The breakfast was very good. I will certainly stay there again.

I couldn't really say that there was anything that was bad . Yes, the rooms are small and if you had to stay for a few days that could be a problem.

"adequate, but limited wifi coverage lets it down"

7.0

ample parking, good breakfast, room was warm (once I had the radiators turned on - it was freezing on arrival, but rads work fine and easy to control the temperature to warm up as required to personal taste)

need wifi for work. it was not working. when asked, was told there are blind spots in some of the rooms, (basically most or all of the double rooms) and only single rooms have wifi assured, so unfortunately that means wont risk booking here again
