Great hotel, with very friendly staff. Room spacious and comfortable. Bathroom large, but only one hook in the bathroom, and not much area to put stuff on; if I’d been travelling with my wife, my bathroom clutter would’ve been consigned to the bedroom.

A nice hotel but quite old inside the room, with squeaky floor. The good thing is the location.

Tripper
our stay was perfect other than the breakfast which we thought was overpriced and barely warm and the bacon imo was under cooked and no variety from day to day! Also the food menus in the grill I thought were poor! alright if you like chicken but again not much to choose from. The staff were all lovely and very helpful and the location was very good.

No water provided and small tumblers. Sounds trivial but a nice glass of cold water is most welcome after a lot of driving. Every other hotel provides this.
