Not as hoped
Pros:

The staff were really nice and welcoming

Cons:

We were in a room down a dark corridor. There seemed to be people living in some of the rooms as there were door mats and things stuck on the doors. From outside you could see personal items stacked in the windows. I felt it was the staff quarter or a part of the hotel out of the way for residents. I wouldn’t want to stay down that end alone.

Perfect for requirements and price!
Pros:

Convenient location for a wedding I was attending. Ample free parking. Clean room, with all facilities needed. Reception staff really friendly and helpful, made to feel very welcome.

Cons:

Slight damp smell throughout. Top floor room very hot, even with window open, could do with a fan and turning off the heated towel rails!

Pros:

The staff were absolutely lovely and made us feel really at home. I loved the main reception area with bar and restaurant. Great location - nice little town with a decent boozer and a few take aways. Highly recommended for the money.

Cons:

We were happy with it all really. It's not a 4/5 star but is defo great value for money and the staff make it for me!

We have stayed here many times before and have always had a pleasant staff I’m hoping this past weekend was just a one o
Pros:

The property has a good sized car park and some facilities I can not comment on the food as we did not eat here but there did look like a good selection for a menu that was seen.

Cons:

The property is very run down. There was no door handle on the toilet door on the outside, the toilet was not secure to the floor and wobbled, the room was excruciatingly hot. One fan was provided when we asked staff if there was any chance of another we were basically told no deal with it. We spoke with other people staying at the hotel and they had the same answer and commented on how rude the staff were. We decided to go for a quick drink in the bar and staff were no where to be seen.
