A good stopover for bed-and-breakfast and maybe an evening meal too.
Pros:

Comfortable room. Good breakfast. Good location. Reasonable price. Pub style restaurant.

Cons:

The pub restaurant was busy and there was a long wait for food. The staff were not particularly welcoming but to be fair, they were very busy, so maybe understandable.

It was a nice stay and good value for money
Pros:

The room was nice and comfortable as expected. There was plenty of tea and coffee on offer. It was nice to have a fan in the room as the weather was a bit stuffy. It was nice to have extra pillows as well.

Cons:

The only thing I would say it to have more staff as we had to go looking for a receptionist a few times. It would be ideal to have someone at the front desk the whole time. When they did arrive they were very accommodating

Don’t book here!
Cons:

Tape sticking down so loose carpet. Tin yes paper shoved in the broken lock of the bathroom book. Kettle leaked and wiring got wet. Random knock on our hotel room door at 1am so didn’t feel safe. Awful experience. I would not recommend this hotel and I won’t be staying there again
