Andrew

Clean and convenient to my needs. Helpful and friendly staff. Good restaurant with a good choice of food. The carvery (Sundays only) was very good. Quiet room allowing for a good night of sleep despite it being above the main bar/restaurant area and opp car-park.

Steve

United Kingdom

Accessible with good parking. We'd asked for disabled-friendly facilities & the room was very good in that respect - spacious & safe with fully accessible bathroom. Breakfast was good value for money. No bells & whistles in terms of toiletries etc; place comes at a functional price & it functions (bar phone access). Clean & tidy. Bed was noticeably comfortable - we both slept like logs.

Rooms were a little tired and could do with updating and a coat of paint. The sink was cracked and there wasn't any soap.
The bedding was clean and fresh and the bed was comfortable.

“Disappointing”

- • Family Room (2 Adults + 2 Children)
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Room was not thoroughly cleaned as cobwebs on wall next to bed, corners of carpet not hoovered/cleaned, restaurant was hoaching with flies so we decided we would not eat there with our children, quite disgusting? Staff member was not at all enthusiastic or polite when my husband entered restaurant on our arrival evening, this was also an issue last time I visited this establishment. Obviously no staff training has taken place or feedback from customers acted on. Not good customer service at all. Disappointing
Beds were ok nothing much else to like

Major fly problem in the bar and dining area, breakfast was always disturbed by trying to remove flys. Where there are flys there will be maggots. And so a major concern from a cleanliness point of view. Only one flight light !!!

No room service while staying for 2 nights, family of 4, so plenty wet towels needing renewed and toilet paper/coffee milk etc not replenished. Reply on checkout out was that someone must’ve taken our new towels etc from outside our room door??! Rooms very hot even though we had a plug in fan and heaters off, over run with flies as had to keep windows open for air :(
It was a good location for where we were visiting. Comfy beds. Good food and good bar/dinner/breakfast service
