Excellent food and very friendly and accommodating staff.
Pros:

Five Star food rating. Evening meal in particular (Indian dish) was delicious. Staff exceptionally friendly, professional and accommodating. Lovely gift left in room to mark a family occasion.

Cons:

This hotel is quite dated and the staff are working hard to upgrade it. We knew this before arriving so no surprises. Hope they get the local support necessary to help achieve their goal.

Pros:

Last minute booking for us, the staff was really friendly and helpful. We got a bigger room then the one we booked which we were happy with. Food was ok. We will be booking g again soon.

Cons:

Our room could do with an update. Toilet sounded like a tractor when you flushed it but we didnt let it bother us. The food was ok. The location is 40mintes away to shop or garage, so I would advice to bring snacks or lemonade with you if you would like a munch in bed.

Prima overnachtingsadres!
Pros:

We twijfelen of we moesten boeken gezien de rating hier, maar qua locatie kwam dit het beste uit, dus besloten we de gok te wagen. Geen verkeerde keuze. Prachtige grote kamer. Badkamer was wel zwaar gedateerd maar was schoon en alles functioneerde. Vriendelijke eigenaren en we hebben daar een heerlijke curry gegeten

Cons:

Niks!
