The room was spotless and nicely decorated. The bathroom was lovely and quite big with free toiletries. It is lovely being able to eat meals with your dogs in the conservatory. The hotel is right on the Main Street so very convenient for all the shops and restaurants.

Staff welcoming, the room was just as photo on booking - standard double - very clean - room did smell a bit when we first walked in but disappeared after opening Windows. Breakfast waiter very pleasant and suggested what to have to eat it was lovely (he even got me a cappuccino- but don't tell the boss) hotel very central for town centre and for £4 we got a car park pass.

Location right in middle of town. Traditional ‘coaching inn’ type hotel which provided modern room, if a bit small and individually cooked breakfast. Convenient town centre parking for small extra fee.

Noise was terrible we on one occasion could not sleep all night because of the noisy neighbours across the road in the cottages. They were up all night and shouting and laughing all night long. We found this to be most disturbing and annoying as we were working all week.

The bed was quite hard. I didn’t sleep very well due to the heat in the room. The service at meal times is very slow. We had to ask for our breakfast order to be taken.
The room was spotless and nicely decorated. The bathroom was lovely and quite big with free toiletries. It is lovely being able to eat meals with your dogs in the conservatory. The hotel is right on the Main Street so very convenient for all the shops and restaurants.

“Disappointed ”

- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted via mobile
It is a tired, dated hotel. My room was right next to a pub and due to no air conditioning could not leave the window open as too noisy (nothing mentioned about this in description) and when i checked the tea pot there was still tea in it from the previous occupant. I paid a lot of money for two rooms and am still trying to understand why they cost that much as the hotel and rooms we had did not match the cost and can only assume its the fact that you step out the front of the hotel and your in the middle of the shops that your paying for. I have stayed in a much lovelier hotel literally 5 minutes from this one and the cost is cheaper but the hotel is 5*
Very convenient for the shops

there is a very small car park (5 Places) which is free, but you can purchase a Parking Permit at reception with unlimited parking at only £2.00 a day. In this type of Holiday location this has to be Great Value.
