A super, quiet place to stay.

Pros:

Very friendly staff. Price was excellent. And for us visiting family location perfect.

Cons:

Just a little thing the bar looked closed when we got back to hotel at 9.00 would have been nice to relax with a little drink before bed.

Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room is a good size, with a mini fridge and a extra large bed. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and bottled water were all available. There was even an Easter treat left in the room.
The breakfast was lovely, with good choices for vegetarian and vegans.
It was overall a really lovely stay.

Cons:

A couple of cobwebs in the bathroom and the mattresses topper had a few stains. The shower gel/soap etc needed changing, looked like mold growing inside (although we had our own so wasnt a problem for us).
None of this would stop me from staying here again.

Pros:

Quiet. Ok breakfast
Good space with potential

Cons:

Kettle - could be cleaned as full of limescale
Pillows
Body wash/hair wash dispenser pump was broken
I think in a little while it will need a good deep clean and a little bit of revamping/renovation

Not enough towels. AGAIN
Cons:

Yet again there weren’t enough towels I the room. If you’ve booked a double room you shouldn’t have to ask for towels for 2 people. But this was the second time in 5 weeks that we’d stayed at this hotel and had to ask on both occasions
