Pros:

Great central location to the various attractions we were visiting. The hotel is basic but for what you pay, it's to be expected. There's a kettle, tea, coffee, sugar and milk on arrival as well as a hair dryer. Our towels and bedding were changed regularly.

Cons:

Nothing to complain about at this price.

Pros:

This hotel has good location, overall the restaurant looks not bad but not cheap either, generally the reception, hallway and rooms are from 1960’s . The carpets very dirty, with holes , walls and ceilings with lot’s of marks after leaks, cracks and patching up walls are really unpleasant . Horrible bathroom.

Cons:

Great place for a short stay
Pros:

Lovely setting. Pleasantly surprised after some of the awful reviews! Our room was good, clean with a four poster bed, clean bathroom. The “balcony “ was not really for sitting on as no furniture and just a wraparound terrace really….shame as it has potential. There is some damp in the room but for the price we paid it was fine. Staff really lovely and helpful and the pizza one of the best i’ve had!! Good bar and seating outside which was great in this recent heat!!

Cons:

Nothing really just a shame there seems to be no investment as could be even better.

Pros:

The location is gorgeous and quiet, the place could do with a bit of modernisation, the shower in the bathroom lacked a holder to hold! the shower head so that was hard work, no shower screen either round the bath. Lovely staff and lovely breakfast too
