Convenient to where we needed to go, but overpriced. Couldn’t fault the receptionist, very friend and helpful
Pros:

Location, friendly reception

Cons:

No breakfast facilities, which they haven’t offered for 10yrs apparently. Thought I’d booked a double, but there were single beds, proximity of shower to toilet very small and oversized water tap over hand basin, took up more space

Short and sweet
Pros:

The whole stay was quite good, access to a pub for a dinner meal was a bonus and the food was very nice. The rooms were clean and tidy. The staff were all very lovely. I wouldnt hesitate to stay there again.

Pub has great bistro, room was clean, renovated bathroom, convenient parking, no stairs, great rate
Pros:

Accom is a decent distance from other facilities so not too much patron noise. Bistro has great meals.

Cons:

The desk light wasn't working and being a pub it was perhaps not surprising that there was a car doing donuts at midnight

Scared, threatened snd unsafe security useless
Cons:

It was UNSAFE we had a person next door threatening us wanting us to come out of our room as they were making lots of noise
and we asked them to be quiet then they became threatening we called security at 3.30 am to assist us snd they didn’t even come so we left the accomodation very early once we felt it was safe to leave our room.
Worse still they put us in a room with a interconnecting door that was a standard door, not secure , not soundproof just like a bedroom door but locked.
Crazy guy next to us nearly bashed it down, also light shined through around edges it was ridiculous!!!
Manager still hasn’t bothered to call me back even after we spoke with staff that day .
