Room ok, recently refurbished. I have a thing about stains on the carpet, which there were, makes such a difference to clean them off. Otherwise comfy but basic. Clean apart from the carpet. Staff very helpful and friendly. Nice breakfast.

My family and I stayed here just for one night last week, and we had a lovely stay. The staff here were really nice, welcoming, and accommodating! We stayed in the family suite and even though our room looked out onto the main road, the room was very quiet at night. We did stay here on a weeknight, so it may be busier/noisier on a weekend/during the holiday period. The breakfast was great, and they had options for those with dietary requirements. Overall, highly recommend!

Just spent a night here and what a revelation in comparison to a “chain” hotel. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Even booking us in for dinner at a nearby restaurant. Spotless modern rooms. Can’t fault the service. Lovely pint and a great breakfast. Deserves 6 stars. Not 5!
