Good value for money, great location. Would stay again if allocated s better room.
Pros:

Location was good and staff were friendly

Cons:

I booked a suite which stated it had a bath - there was no bath. We were given a room on the main Rd at the side of the hotel which seemed like we were staying in a shop feont.

La chambre était très propre et l’établissement calme. Meilleurs nuit à de mon voyage en Angleterre ! Le personnel était sympathique et prévenant.
Petit déjeuner exceptionnel. À côté il y un bar où on peux utiliser internet et boire une bière voire manger une assiette c’est tres bien.

Brilliant last minute night away
Pros:

The staff that we met (check in and breakfast) were lovely. The lady on breakfast due was brilliant, nothing was too much. Stayed with my 3 year old and he’s still saying how comfy the bed was

Cons:

The rooms could do with a mini fridge but other than that, nothing.

Good value comfortable stay with friendly staff and quality breakfast.
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff. Our room was large with sitting area and plenty of space. Lovely and quiet. Comfy bed with really good bedding. Well cooked, good quality, breakfast and service.

Cons:

There were a few areas needing maintenance in our room, carpet cleaning, grouting/silicon refresh in bathroom but this did not worry us nor affect out stay.

As described and a nice place to stay. Could do with a bit of filler in the walls and fresh paint.
Pros:

All facilities worked. Breakfasts were good. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area

Cons:

My room was clean, but is in need of redecoration really quite urgently. It looked tired.
