Third/fourth rate establishment. First rate staff.
Pros:

This hotel has steadily been gowing down hill for many months. The staff are lovely and entirely professional. I am truly sorry that they are now out of a job.

Good and Bad.
Pros:

Location was good. Staff were excellent. Fresh towels everyday and her made/room tidied. Bed was comfy if a little small. Big car park.

Cons:

Room was dusty and dirty in corners and between the window and secondary glazing. No toilet roll holder of place to put things in the shower. Cooked breakfast was like warm.
Access not good for mobility issues, 2 steps to main door, 4 steps to reception and dining room.

Fair for the price.
Pros:

Easy to find, Plenty of car parking spaces, quick and efficient check in

Cons:

Let me start by saying, I’ve stayed here a few times so it really suits my needs and I wouldn’t come back if it was bad. Just this time the room was terrible. Stained carpets, curtains didn’t close fully leaving you exposed to a main road tap not secure in bathroom.
