Accommodation OK well priced, staff excellent.
Pros:

This is a budget hotel competitively priced so we didn't expect a high standard but the staff were definitely not to a budget standard, they were very welcoming and friendly and went out of their way to assist with our elderly friends. So 5 stars for them well done!

Cons:

Our room was good unfortunately our elderly friends, in their 90`s, had a shower over the bath which did not have temperature control and they couldn`t use it.

Water to hot
Pros:

The staff
The bed

Cons:

It wasn't my first time staying here and for the second time the water for the bath / shower was boiling hot I turned the controls in all directions to get it to cold but it did work. I had already put soap on so couldn't go to reception to ask for help it had happened in a different room at the hotel I ran the bath and used one of the cups supplied to transfer cold water in to it from the sink .

Almost cheap and cheerful.
Pros:

Very friendly staff, comfortable bed, clean bedding and towels. Plenty of parking. Perfectly located and exactly what we needed. The building has character.

Cons:

Although some parts of this hotel could be described as "cheap and cheerful," it is absolutely unacceptable that a hotel such as this has the audacity to require a minimum booking of two nights. Mould all over the bathroom ceiling and bathroom window. Small washing area squeezed in next to the shower. Broken shower that spat water everywhere else except where it was meant to. Only one pillow each. Very poor lighting. Faulty bedside plug which made a sound when I attempted to charge my phone. Despite booking for two guests, the room was only set up for one and we had to ask for an extra towel, cup, and glass. The walls are very thin and we could clearly hear other guests speaking and showering. Massive gap at the bottom of the door letting light in from the hallway. In short, this is just a tired hotel that needs a lot of upgrading - should have been able to stay for just one night.

okay
Pros:

Food was poor, limited vegetarian choice and did not taste good.

You need a wider range of vegetarian options and check the quality of what is served.

A very pleasant stay.
Pros:

Value for money. The room was comfortable, dinner and breakfast were both good quality and reasonably priced. Sky sports on several televisions in the bar area was a bonus.

Cons:

The only issue is that the property was a little tired in places. The challenge, however, is balancing constant redecorating with keeping prices reasonable.
