Nice clean and friendly hotel
Pros:

It was a nice stay to be honest it was clean and tidy, although a bit of a musty smell in the entrance but it was adequate for the purpose it was needed for.

Pleasantly Adequate Great Staff
Pros:

The staff are great and the food is really good.

Cons:

Disappointed that the ‘Breakfast Included’ means CONTINENTAL. The mattress in room 11 is past its best. The floorboards creak in the 11 and 12. The shower went cold a few times each time I showered, quite a shock. :)
