1 star is not even worth it.We stayed here for the NC 500 route, DON'T BOTHER with this place, should be called "faulty towers" food had to wait ages it was warm, waitress didn't know what beers were on the bar had to go look ourselves. Breakfast don't bother go Tesco cafe small but do a sausage or bacon bap and hot drinks. Warmer than the hotel
