    going in with an open mind due to bad reviews can’t really say anything bad. it’s old building. but staff couldn’t be anymore helpful

    very welcoming and room very clean, gentleman was very helpful and the lady was lovely as I was on my own for a few hours as partner working. took time out to make sure I was ok and anything else I needed

    The decor in the bathroom was rather stark and a little maintenance needed.

    Chalets in the car park? Really?
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was a 'chalet' in the car park. It opened onto the car park itself and anyone talking or smoking could be heard as though they were in the room. There was no space in the room, just a double bed close to the door (which opened into the car park). There was no window in the bathroom and the room smelt slightly moldy. The reception area felt like a funeral parlour with poor decoration and a tiny desk. There was no offer or mention of breakfast.

    The bathroom was clean and useable. The double bed was comfortable. There was a kettle with tea and coffee.

    The following could be improved:- Quality of mattresses. Communication re halal food. Bar to be open. Decent garden chairs & umbrellas for all outside rooms.

    Rooms were comfortable but cosy small. Slightly old fashioned decor but very clean & well presented. Beds-mattresses are not best quality & need changing so that springs not felt. Breakfast good value re items available however the owner does not explain that all meat is halal which affected friends' enjoyment of the breakfast due to items provided & taste. Staff member was amazing. We were provided with a sun umbrella & ice.... Essential that weekend. So helpful & thoughtful. She deserves a Gold star.
