Excellent location and served its purpose and was very reasonable
Pros:

This hotel is in an excellent location, has been taken over in recent years by a young family and is slowly being restored, it will certainly be a hotel to keep an eye on in the future as if it is restored to its former glory it will be amazing. I wish them all the best and hope they can bring the hotel back to life

Cons:

it served its purpose for us, we stayed one night, it just needs some loving

Pros:

The location was good, the staff were brilliant & helpful about the area 👍

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable, the bathroom was tiny, no leg room at all if you need to sit down on the toilet, no hot water in the shower, could hear next door clear as day but still enjoyed our holiday. Just next time I'll read the reviews before booking
