Good, clean stopping over point if you need accommodation in the area
Pros:

Handy location. Room was very clean. It’s a basic, clean space to stop over. We literally just needed a bed for the night.

Cons:

The room seems a bit tired in terms of decor. You wouldn’t choose to spend more time than you need to there.

Pros:

Hotel was lovely! Very comfortable. Was good to be so close to the train station not far to walk plenty of shops around for those things you might forget and leave at home

Cons:

Only thing I didn't like was there was no small essentials for ladies when the time of the month appears unexpected and there wasn't access to a machine to buy them. That was just my unfortunate luck, overall all was amazing and will definitely be back

Pros:

Très propre, on a manqué de rien. Le petit dejeuner etait excellent

Cons:

Le train qui passe juste derrière
Aussi, ce n est pas de la faute de l hotel mais le manque de respect des autres touristes qui rentrent a 3h du matin du bar et parlent pour tout le couloir, claquent les portes ....

Enjoyable, comfortable and relaxing.
Pros:

Room was very clean and the bathroom was modern and spacious. Cleaned on a daily basis. We are well traveled and can safely say that the breakfast was of an exceptionally high standard. The bar meal was reasonably priced and both tasty and filling. All staff were friendly and helpful. A big bonus was that there was ample free parking. The train station is about a four minute walk from the hotel.

Cons:

Slight noise from the local train line. Did not interfere with our stay.

Excellent place to unwind
Pros:

everything. clean, tidy, quiet... just perfect after that hell hole of the 'Best Western'. The beds were big enough to give you room.... PLENTY of room... you could be in 2 different postcodes they are that big.

Not perfect, but good value.
Pros:

Clean, reasonably comfortable, great breakfast, friendly staff.

Cons:

Approximately 30 years since I last stayed here, I don't think the rooms have been upgraded since then.
