Disappointed - wouldn't recommend bunkhouse accommodation.
Cons:

The room was tiny and lacked basic facilities.
Bunkhouse "kitchen" didn't even have a kettle.
Couldn't cater for dietary requirements.

Pros:

Location is perfect. The staff is friendly and cooperative.

Cons:

Some of the facilities are old but I think that adds to the antique vibe.

Bunkhouse good for short stays
Pros:

Cheap to stay, bunkhouse bed was comfortable

Cons:

Communal showers were very small and uncomfortable to use, drains near your first were dirty and had bugs in them so not a pleasant bathing experience, but other than that was fine

Fair price, great location
Pros:

Location very good, close to everything. Breakfast good & lots of choice. Price was cheap/fair given Location.
Lots of seating areas.

Cons:

Beds uncomfortable. TV not working, staff had to fix it. Room walls paper thin, people in the room next to us were chatting and we could hear their conversations!

Best thing is the spa room
Pros:

This hotel is in a central location, minutes away from the rail station. It has good communal spaces that include a lounge, a bar, a games room with pool table and a spa room with steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. This costs £5 per person for exclusive use. Steam room was out of order.
I had a single room that had an ensuite toilet and shower as well as kettle with tea and coffee.
The breakfast was decent.

Cons:

The room was pretty basic. I had paid the same the night before for a better quality room. There was no plug by the bed to charge a phone. All in all, perfectly fine but nothing special.

Alright for a short stay.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our dog was welcomed. The location was excellent for the town.

Cons:

The room was tight for us and our dog. The mirror on the wall was placed too high to see into for me ! The view from the window looked down on scrap land and rubbish. Inside the hotel was fine but could do with a tidy up outside.

Pros:

The location was great. It’s near the shops and the train station. The rooms are located upstairs which might give you a hard time going up if you just came back from your long exhausting hike. Overall, I highly recommend this place. Good value for money if you’re a group of 5-6.
