The room was nice, the bed was dreadful its hard to explain it was so soft it felt like you were sleeping in a ditch. The pub meals here were once great but this time the menu was limited at best and quality was not very good. Disappointing because I've stayed here plebty of time before and its always beer great.

Great little hotel walking distance from the main street. Plenty of free parking and the staff at the front desk were lovely. Only real issue is a little street noise being on a main road, but that didn't affect my stay. Will be back

good for one night stay.

This is a good, basic hotel for one night rather than a holiday. Amenities need a bit more thought, e.g., a bath mat would be good so that stepping out of the shower onto cold tiles is unnecessary. A non-slip mat in the shower would be good too. The bed was very comfortable.

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment - it smelled like cigarette smoke despite their efforts to hide the smell. The air-conditioning didn't work so they upgraded us to a 3 bedroom apartment, which didn't smell and was huge and really lovely. We were especially impressed by the bathrooms! Complimentary house drinks were an added bonus.

A warm friendly welcome.

Arrived tired after a long day travelling and was met with a warm friendly welcome. The guy kindly carried my case to my room. Room was small but fine for my use. Very clean. Bedding immaculate. Lots of hot water with an excellent shower. Staff were very helpful
