Listed as 5 stars but no staff there so no service. Difficult to get in. No breakfast until after I had to leave and no way to request it earlier so I didn't get any. Not as advertised. I would class this as 3 star at best. Very overpriced for what you get. Won't be staying there again.

Easy to book, check in and leave. Lovely room. Large and tasteful. Comfy bed. All very clean. Bathroom quirky and nice, good towels, sparking clean but one or two painted areas needing attention. Breakfast was fine, staff member very pleasant. Parking at the back was excellent but not well signposted. Communal areas could do with update (hall/stairs, breakfast room). Stair carpet looked dirty which was unfortunate first impression. TV remote not working (batteries?) Location excellent. Overall a very nice stay.

Overall it’s decent hotel but overpriced
This is a decent small hotel close to town centre with free parking. We paid for a superior room and for the price we paid we were a little disappointed. Decor a little tired especially in the bathroom but main issue was no hot water in the evening; shower was only tepid. Also room was very cold at night even after turning radiator. We tried to grab something to eat in the restaurant around 17:00 but were told it was fully booked even though it was empty. Suggested that we could order snacks from the bar, these were very limited, 4 options I think. It’s a nice small hotel but if you are changing 5 star rate then you need to do better. I did report hot water situation at check out but the young lady seemed very inexperienced and just said she would report it.

Nice area, nice site, but bed being held together by tape, for the price a night isn’t great, and unfortunately temporary traffic lights the day we stayed which meant constant noise, I am sure in a different room without the temporary traffic lights would of been a much different experience.
