Perfect central location with friendly staff and off road parking.
Pros:

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Room clean. Tiled shower room Tea making facility. Central location and car parking.

Cons:

Mira shower and cabinet door from the 80’s but functioned okay. Slight smell of cooking throughout but not offensive. Some areas a little tired but cleanliness makes up for this.

Pros:

The location was good. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

The bed/mattress creaked there were delves in it, definitely needed a new mattress . The floor creaked and the shower unit and shower were in need of an upgrade. Poor value for money and not filthy but far from spotless !

Overpriced. Comfort and cleanliness were okay, cheery breakfast staff. The bread for toasting smelled a bit musty as if
Pros:

Good location, parking availability. Polite staff.

Cons:

Overpriced. I was accommodated in the annex at the back of the hotel. The facade of the hotel facing the road is attractive but the rear is a bit dreary.

Staff helpful! Annex rooms need refurbishment I feel, and a little overpriced as a result. But OK.
Pros:

Staff helpful - I left a jacket behind and they kept it for me until I could get back to retrieve it.

Cons:

I've marked this as poor value, but I was staying in the annex rather than the main hotel, so I can't speak for the quality of the hotel rooms themselves - but the annex room, while adequate, was a bit tired and in need of refurbishment, and I think it a little overpriced.
