Disappointed and definitely would not stay again, avoid!
Pros:

Location and staff friendly

Cons:

Food was very overpriced for what it was and wasn’t very warm we stayed for dinner and breakfast, food was only lukewarm and was given cold Nan bread. Bathroom was dirty and wasn’t maintained toilet seat was broken and was a noose from the pipes all night, the bedroom door wouldn’t shut properly.

Rooms were dirty, decor very dated and wallpaper peeling. Rooms weren’t refreshed. There was noise like a washing machine running above the ceiling in room 10. Kept my sister awake all night.

Only stayed for 1 night but had a good nights sleep and thought our room was great value for money
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful, bed was incredibly comfortable - surprised but pleased to find ourselves with a superking! TV worked and bedroom furniture was nice.

Cons:

Bathroom was dated and smelt of damp, obviously we didn't spend long in here anyway. Ceiling in bedroom had damp stains from previous leaks (we were on the ground floor) but no active leaks.
