We were double booked at a nearby hotel and needed a replacement room for the night. Even though I'm sure they weren't officially open for business at that time, the McNair hotel graciously put us up for the night, at an agreeable price.Their assistance was much appreciated. The room was also clean and spacious, so we were very pleased they found the time to help us out.

Had a lovely room. No breakfast was included and as a coach driver it just isn't good enough.

Absolutely okay for the money, clearly an older house and the walls could be painted again, but absolutely not a must! The room is big enough and the bathroom is actually really big
