Parking was great. Plenty of it and just register on tablet at reception to ensure no charge. Didn’t eat in property as there was a wedding reception going on and very busy. Room was adequate and good for budget price but with a few upgrades could be so much better. Bed was comfortable and clean. The shower screen needed a deep clean as there was mould in the rubber seals and some corroded metal parts on it too. Overall we had a comfortable, undisturbed night.

Great value, g

Great hotel, I've stayed before and I commented that it needed a little bit of work, well, they are doing a lot of work on the rooms. Ours had a fantastic new bathroom. Food was great as usual. Will be back again sometime. Thank you : )

Easy parking. Wasn't keen on the long queue at the bar to be served drinks although everyone queued up very politely, we just weren't used to queuing!

Check in waiting time

It took 30 minutes to be allowed into my room from the time of booking on hotels.com. They said it was because it takes around 20 minutes from the time of booking to them getting the information on their system. Everywhere else that ive stayed at it is around 2 minutes. This place is 35 minutes

The stay was easy to book and check in, pub just downstairs that does food and drink with easy access, Room was clean, sometimes the noise of people on the corridor can be heard quite easily and the shower pressure was very weak.
