A nice getaway for the day
Pros:

The breakfast was a good inclusion and well worth it because if I had got breakfast anywhere else it would have been a lot more expensive

Cons:

There was nothing that I disliked about the property and would stay there again in the future

Great location for my needs, friendly staff, parking available and lovely breakfast.
Pros:

Staff were amazing. Gracie very helpful and friendly. I had an issue where I needed a late checkout and she organised it for me. The location was brilliant and felt very safe and the included breakfast was a welcome bonus.

Cons:

Only thing a problem was a tight staircase to get to the room and could be a problem if I had larger bags.

Lovely warm and friendly staff and a comfortable room.
Pros:

Staff were so friendly and helpful. Could not fault them.

Cons:

Would have liked cutlery in the room for when ordering meals in since there was no one in reception in the evening. Also extra cups/mugs. Kettle didn’t really fit very well in bathroom sink under the tap…couldn’t have much water in it.
