Ideal as a stop over for a night or 2
Pros:

The room was OK good bathroom and bed, the bedside lights were a bit difficult to use and had a very small black switch which was not easy to see which involved a walk back from the Bedroom block.

Cons:

Location was convenient and whilst close to the road was not troubled by the traffic. Good poarking.

Would not stay here again
Pros:

The bed was comfortable and food was very good, staff was polite and helpful

Cons:

Our room smelt damp, it had a mouldy smell, the bathroom smelt like a sewer, we had to buy air freshener to disguise it, and the fan provided was dusty, so it started of my allergies, causing me to get short of breath in the night, the shower head was very dirty, as was the plug hole
