Great location, lovely staff and excellent breakfast but let down by the shower and parking situation
Pros:

Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, compact but a great base. Shower wasn’t great at all, no water coming out but enough to do what you needed to do. The toiletries were lovely and made up for it. Breakfast was lovely!

Cons:

The shower wasn’t great, it was a waterfall shower but it was more of a sprinkle.. parking at the hotel is an issue, this is obviously not the hotels fault, but you can’t park anywhere for more than 12 hours in a 24 hour period, which meant we had to keep moving the car which wasn’t ideal. Also our door didn’t lock.

Pros:

Room was comfortable, bed was very comfortable, I liked that there was complimentary hot chocolate as well as the usual tea and coffee. Breakfast was very good and plentiful, staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Towel shelf in my bathroom was loose, the shower thermostat in my friend's bathroom was missing part of the handle.

Wouldn’t return !!
Pros:

Comfortable and decent food

Cons:

No parking facilities and the email they send you where to park doesn’t exist !! Breakfast was burnt to a crisp although dinner the previous evening was good although many things not available on the menu. Roadworks right outside my window on the Main Street went on until midnight. Obviously been there a long time and I was warned of this

Cons:

The family room was tiny, very hard to move around with 2 adults one teenager.
We stayed for one night over the weekend and it was very noisy with nightlife up to 4am.
