A lovely spur of the moment booking which was excellent value and I would definitely return
Pros:

Perfect for my needs. Staff attentive. Food lovely. Room really comfy and spacious.

Cons:

Ok maybe the bathroom could do with new flooring and I couldn’t get the wall lights to work but neither detracted from the overall experience

We probably wouldn't stay again and wouldn't recommend it to others
Pros:

The receptionist was very pleasant and friendly and breakfast was OK.

Cons:

The place has a run down feel about it. For example the dining area is very basic and the tables were sticky (not cleaned properly). For our evening meal we decided to just have a starter- chicken pate. With it we received 2 barely toasted pieces of white bread and a couple of lumps of pate. We ate it but it was definitely not worth the GBP 8.50 we each paid.

Comfortable but spoilt by the disappointing food
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

Ordered the Sunday lunch roast beef for dinner. The plate wasn't hot enough therefore the meal was less than warm by the time I'd finished. The roast beef was ok but roast potatoes were poor. Got the impression it was a warm over from lunch.
