Pros:

Hade singelrummet som var Mycket prisvärt. Allt var rent fräscht, Skön säng. Trevlig personal. Mycket God frukost som jag valde Full english.
Kommer återvända.

Cons:

skulle väl i så fall vara att det saknades toalettborste men det kan ha varit en tillfällighet och att det annras brukar finnas en sådan. Jag frågade aldrig efter en.. Egentligen är det ett litet problem

Pros:

The shower was good.

Cons:

A bit expensive for my budget, the walls are fine and couldn’t get to sleep until the other guests around me settled down. Could have done with an early night as had a long drive the next day.

Pros:

Lovely hotel/restaurant which was in the perfect location for myself & mate visiting a local friend for the weekend.
Staff, room facilities were all excellent & especially the comfortable bed.

Cons:

Unfortunately being surprisingly woken up by cleaners at 09:30am knocking on the door (1hour before) the allocated checkout time of 10:30am was certainly not appreciated.
Ive never known this to happen at any other hotel ive stayed at & especially a full 1 hour before the actual checkout.

Pros:

Location was good. The bathroom was comfortable

Cons:

The room was tiny which I knew. It's ok for one night. The bed was not comfortable, and the pillow was very uncomfortable.
The food was budget quality, both the dinner and the breakfast.

Good value stay in town, bit noisy at the front.
Pros:

Good location and a nice breakfast.

Cons:

Noise all night from works outside on the road gullies. The shower was broken, it needed to be hand held while you used it which wasn’t ideal.

Perfect single room for a stopover with delicious food options
Pros:

They were very accommodating. Due to feeling ill they helped me check in early which was greatly appreciated. Very cooperative with bike storage and coordinating getting bike out of storage in the morning. Made me feel very welcome and as a solo female traveler this was greatly appreciated

Cons:

Single room was small

Unpleasant evening and experience. Will not booking again. Which is a shame as I’ve booked a number of hiking weekends i
Pros:

It was convenient for what I needed

Cons:

The room was very small and smelt heavily of stale cigarette smoke! I found this totally unacceptable and felt like it was a room used for staff, if for any reason they had to stop over! The stale cigarette smoke has embedded in my clothes, which is totally unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to purchase a single room. If I hadn’t of arrived so late I would if complained and asked to be moved. But now I wonder that’s why the staff member taking me to the room gave me the door card outside of the room and didn’t enter! Unfortunately it was a very unpleasant evening and experience.
