Nice to get away cheap and a very good location and the guy who is running the hotel very polite and
Pros:

The location was brilliant and local to everything we needed to get to.

Cons:

The hotel was just taken over the guy who is running the hotel absolutely brilliant very nice will do anything for u if u asked. A kettle in the room but no milk sugar or coffee no net curtain in the window loads of work to b done. Plus no toilet in the room just a bed the toilet was on the next floor. Other than that for the price it was ok.
