Helpful staff. Big room. Cyclist friendly. Surprisingly quiet given location on main road. Resident swallows. The bar decor is disturbingly horrible.

The staff allowed us to bring our dog into one of the separate little lodge type rooms which was a great help. They were flexible on us arriving late to check-in & all were friendly & helpful.

Nice people very helpful and friendly, they offered to change my room for one with better signals but once I'm in a room I'm reluctant to move. Food was good. Mobile phone signal is poor and in my room was non-existent, wifi signal is at best fair, in my room I could log on but had no internet access. But they were having trouble that weekend so it may have been temporary.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. the room was large and wonderfully warm during a freezing cold snap. It was very quiet when I was staying and the bed was very comfortable. I was visiting my daughter who had been in a serious accident and the night I brought her to have dinner in the hotel the staff were all lovely and couldn't do enough for us to help. Nothing to dislike really for the money it was brilliant value.

Well decorated clean room and warm. I thought it was excellent for the standard advertised. Staff were helpful and friendly. I asked for a wake-up call at 9.00am Sunday morning and didn't get one. I also live in a town, so having a room that backed onto a field of chickens with a cockerel that crowed often completely disrupted my sleep as I am just not used to it.

Staff very good, helpful and friendly. Bar meals excellent value for money, and drinks reasonably priced.On the whole excellent value for money and hence we have booked a return visit in December. We were given a room in the Courtyard and from what we gathered these rooms are in a better position than the rooms in the main hotel which is very close to the busy main road, so we could have been disappointed had we been allocated a room there. Our room was away from the main road and therefore we had no problem with noise from the road whatsoever.

It was really close to main roads and easy to find, not too expensive! The room we stayed in was above the laundry room which was quite noisey! We also could hear 2 of the staff have a very long personal conversation in said laundry room...
