It was easy to get to parking was fine stuff very welcoming clean and tidy thank you
Pros:

It’s locality

Cons:

Wi-Fi would’ve been good in the room, even if we had to pay we would’ve done. The outside seating area could’ve done with tidying up.

Good value stay with excellent breakfast , served by Wendy who was delightful.
Pros:

Great location with good sized room, and excellent food .

Cons:

Although warned about disco in hotel on Friday and Saturday nights , the volume was still very high , ear plugs provided didn’t really help, also customers sitting outside on tables were very loud . Would definitely use the hotel again but would avoid the weekend!

Great stay - thanks
Pros:

Great location and incredible value. The staff were lovely and very welcoming. It was great that breakfast was included too - we mentioned we were vegetarian and they even made some veggie sausages for us to have with breakfast which was a nice touch.

Cons:

We stayed on Saturday and Sunday when there was music going on in the pub, but to be honest that wasn’t much of an issue as they were very transparent about that when booking, provided earplugs, and they had a drinks deal on the Saturday so we just joined for a bit!

Good food, lovely staff, very bad night’s sleep.
Pros:

Large room with a chaise longue!

Cons:

Avoid Room 5! On arrival water was running down the doorframe to the bathroom! Quickly rectified by lovely staff but that’s not the point! Kept awake until 1am by the disco - no soundproofing, green light on ceiling stayed on all night, uncomfortable bed where you could feel the springs! Struggling to get out of slippery bath. Put the tiny bath mat down which slipped!
