Loved every minute of our stay and we most definitely return
Pros:

The staff made up for any shortcomings in the hotel.
Happy and helpful everyone of them.

Cons:

A little bit tired but this is fair enough as the price per night is very reasonable considering the location

Very decent place to stay for the money. Lovely and hard working staff
Pros:

I like staying here and have done many times.
It’s very good value not perfect but staff all very nice, clean and comfortable and lovely breakfast especially the veggie sausages! (Although love see yogurt too!)
Excellent location
Evening entertainment good,it was on everyday of my stay
I had one of the newer refurbished rooms which I believe they are working their way through

Cons:

Could do with replacing the beds! Could feel the springs
It’s a bit tired in places and could do with deep cleaning carpets in communal areas (appreciate end of season)
There are also quite a few stairs ro some rooms (no lift)

An excellent weekend stay
Pros:

The staff are excellent. The rooms clean . A great location. Good parking . An excellent bar lounge .

Cons:

Surprisingly no toiletries in bathrooms for showering with etc . Just a bar of soap for washing hands . The full English breakfast was excellent but the sausage is low grade and tasteless. But apart these two niggles I’d still highly recommend this establishment.

Could have been beter
Pros:

The staff were great. Comfy beds . Great shower
Good entertainment

Cons:

The sausages horrible. The food hit and miss. Dont order soft boiled eggs they always hard.
Basicly the food let the hotel down .roast meat was dry and inedible. Veg soggy veg
It does need an upgrade as old furniture and woodchip walls.
Plug sockets some were round and very old light switches . Very old fashioned hotel
