A nice, friendly hotel that could be improved upon.
Pros:

Stayed here before in their suite. I love what they did with the space by making it a living room and bedroom. Very unique. Felt like an apartment in the best way. The bed was comfortable. Plenty of pillows and duvets in the cupboard if you want more. The staff are beyond friendly. Very approachable. Lovely to deal with and very welcoming. Car park is also very convenient. Location is central too.

Cons:

Musky, very off-putting smell in the bathroom both times I’ve stayed. Just surprised housekeeping haven’t done something about it or maybe haven’t noticed. Though I love their suite and what they’ve done with the space, it’s very basic for the money they charge. Not even a coffee machine. Television only provides basic channels which is a bit annoying for a suite. No access to Netflix or YouTube like other country hotels I have stayed in. Surrounding area doesn’t offer much for dining outside of takeaways, so you’re sorta stuck dining at Cusack’s which isn’t the best for food though, but again, staff are lovely.

Cons:

The room was very very small for the price we paid. The bathroom also needs updating. The wooden panel behind the door and below the bath needs repairing.
