Not good value for money - worth half the amount charged
Pros:

Very little I’m afraid. Free parking but rubbish dump in the car park.

Cons:

Very tired. Room not very clean which didn’t help. Poor food - I decided to breakfast elsewhere after my evening meal. Short staffed.

Would be a good hotel if they played a little more attention to cleanliness
Pros:

Location was good and the staff were polite and accomodating

Cons:

The fly tipping area at the back of the property. I realise this is their hotel but dumping old beds and stuff in the corner of the back was unsightly. There was even what appeared to be dog food or just food for vermin?

Selbst nur für eine Nacht nur eine Notlösung.
Pros:

Diese Frage ist schwer zu beantworten. Die Nähe zu den Abbeys.

Cons:

Das Bad war ziemlich verschimmelt, die Bodenbeläge schmutzig und das Zimmer war sehr hellhörig.

A good place to stay, but could be better.
Pros:

Centrally located within the town.

Cons:

Hotel staff were really stretched in the bar running a quiz night that adversely affected my check in and, in my humble opinion, the quality of the evening meal.
