First room was not comfortable I nearly left and rebooked elsewhere. Not very clean bathroom and electric towel warmer seemed a bit dangerous very hot when on. Tiny wall mounted tv. People standing outside window very late whilst smoking from bar. Changed rooms to upper floor that bathroom shower was terrible, the controls were loose and very hard to set. Again bathroom not very clean. Whole accommodation needs really good clean into corners and showers need overhauling. No hairdryer in both rooms.
Breakfast was really good

Only point - and not a criticism, would have been handy to know that food wasn’t served on a Sunday evening, but staff were happy to recommend good restaurants close by.
Comfy bed. Friendly staff. Tasty breakfast. Everyone keen to help and really pleasant atmosphere.

Our room was fantastic and the location is superb. I’d especially like to give a massive shoutout to the staff - we made friends with one of the staff members (epic lady with white hair and glasses) and she was the highlight of our stay. She helped us a lot to arrange everything and was a superb companion for chatting during dinner. I’ll definitely visit again, thank you for everything!
