The staff were friendly, helpful, approachable and attentive. They were very hard working. A credit to the team. The food was reasonably priced and was very tasty. Would definitely return and would definitely recommend. Thank you.
Location: 20 minutes walk into town and a couple of minutes from the bus stop. Very convenient.

Only stayed one night and had a comfortable clean bed. The room was pokey, poorly decorated and bathroom was shabby. If you opened the windows cooking smells came in from the kitchen.

Expensive with low quality.
Very basic facilities and very expensive fir a single room. Double glazing units had broken down and therefore misted through. Definitely not suitable for mobility disabled people, which I learned to my cost.
We had a nice large room. However, it was on a corner so faced two roads and it was on the first floor which meant hauling our luggage up a narrow staircase. The bathroom had no hooks or rails for towels or clothes. The staff were lovely.

The food was very good pub grub and large portions.
