Perfect
Pros:

It's the perfect place to stay for gigs at the open air theatre. Reasonably priced. Staff booked a taxi for us. It's just got a great feel. It's a place for school residentials during the week so don't expect a plush hotel. It's functional, clean, comfortable, friendly, flexible. Sun shone, we picnicked on the lawn chatting to staff. Would always stay there when at a concert. Third stay. Thank you!

Cons:

Everything but the grounds are the very best thing

Pros:

Second time we have stayed here. Great location and just a 10 minute drive to north bay. We visited both times as we were going to a concert at the open air theatre. Staff were very friendly and breakfast was fab. No tv in the room but that was actually a refreshing change. Lovely spot.

If you like run down old hostels this is for you.
Pros:

This property was advertised as a hotel and is far short of that, it is a hostel.

Cons:

The place has probably not been renovated since the 70’s. The carpets were badly stained. The plumbing was appalling and rust marks all over the bath. They had the audacity to charge £100 per night for this shambles of a place.

Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to help with recommendations and advice for my mam, she would have struggled without them. I was unable to join the party due to injury and they made the whole experience great for my mam and children.
