Value for money in comfortable accommodation.
Pros:

Bit of a quirky hotel but still very nice. Breakfast was excellent. Staff are very nice. Facilities in rooms very good. Hotel layout is "unusual" making it a bit quirky but that was no drawback.

Cons:

Only issue is with parking which isn't ideal but we got by with what was available.

So called pre-booked parking was a joke, had to put a down payment on check-in which needed to be spent on their cafe,
Pros:

The location was good, that’s all I can say about it

Cons:

It was dated, worn and very basic

Pros:

The location was good being close enough to walk to the town centre however the apartment was shabby and rundown and desperately needed some TLC. There was spilt milk in the fridge which had been there for a while and absolutely stunk. It was very difficult to shut the shower door and the water temperature fluctuated between freezing cold and boiling hot making for a very uncomfortable experience.

Cons:

Shabby and rundown desperately in need of some TLC

We had a great stay at a place we've stayed in before and the reception is friendly and welcoming .
Pros:

We had a good stay - many thanks. We have stayed before so are used to the location. We could have used an extra blanket at night because of the cold... Having said that the breakfast was awesome (as always) and the reception great, friendly and very helpful.

Cons:

Please see about the blanket at night.
