Very nice hotel, would recommend

Pros: Very friendly hotel, well equipped room and extremely comfortable bed. Breakfast menu slightly limited but adequate. Well situated within 5 minute walk of the town centre. Small car park but plenty of car parks within walking distance. Would recommend to anyone

Very nice break (apart from the above incident).

Pros: Didn't have the breakfast but the location and general setting was very good.

Cons: Whilst it isn't exactly a criticism I had a problem with the shower as it wouldn't turn off. Unfortunately the reception wasnt manned until 10 am and there didnt appear to be anyone around downstairs so I rang the emergency number st 8.10 but got no answer. I rang it again at 8.20 am when a lady answered who said someone should be available to come and have a look. Nobody arrived and it was only after 10 am that I found someone downstairs who cane up to have a look and eventually she was able to turn the shower off. This meant that hot water was running for nearly two hours. I was quite disappointed that nobody came back to update me as I felt it was an emergency and should have been treated as such. (Also I felt I couldn't leave the bedroom until it was sorted out).

Nice, cozy and budget friendly

Pros: The place is very close to high street and there is large public parking next to the building. Rooms are on top of the pub so you enter and exit thru the pub, but they were well isolated and seemed like sound-proof. Room size was good and well cleaned.

Cons: Not a big nuisance but bath tub was leaking water during shower. Pub's own parking was limited to only 3 cars so you have to park in public parking, which is 3hrs max stay. If parking overnight, you must leave before 8 am or pay daily long-stay charge (around 4-5 quid).

Lionel 8/10

Pros: Great location. Easy to park. Fantastic value for money for this location! Very friendly and helpful staff The food at the Pub the previous night was good.

Cons: Nothing really. The bed was a bit soft but this is only a matter of preference.

Pros: Location was great, the staff were fantastic. I had an issue with my room (previous \

Cons: The covers and pillows both were a bit thick for my personal liking (common issue in hotels!).

Miriam 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Friendly staff. Pleasant ambience. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Dinner in the evening. It took over an hour to come. We felt sorry for the lovely waitress who was embarrassed at the messages she had to bring. We should have been advised to eat earlier.
