Good value for money as we stayed on a Sunday night.
Pros:

Clean room, adequate size. Clothes hanging rack. Shower gel and hand soap provided. Hairdryer, tea/coffee and kettle.
Free parking.

Cons:

Didn't enjoy being woken up by the sound of the beer barrels being delivered. Every barrel was dropped to the ground from the lorry causing loud clunking and banging noises. Unfortunate.
The bath was a little awkward to step in an out of as it had steep sides. The hairdryer was dusty.
Positioned by a main road.

What we needed, cost effective, clean and welcoming.
Pros:

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Rooms were tidy and well equipped. Perfect for our requirements on this stay.

Cons:

No mention of discounts on food that were available! We checked in and ate straight away ( we only arrived at 7.30pm and kitchen closed at 8pm). The only mention regarding discount was in our room, which we had not even been to at this point.
