Very comfortable stay. Room was warm and clean with a wonderful view of Alisa Craig from the window. We ate dinner out but the continental breakfast in the room was plentiful (the milk was only just in date but was fine).

Ok for a few nights
The hotel does not look very appealing from the outside (barely recognisable as a hotel) and the lack of reception and breakfast in your room is a bit odd. That said, my room was as per the photos, airy, clean and comfortable. The manager was helpful and the breakfast in the room was perfectly fine. It was all ok for me for a few nights on a work trip, but not what I would call a leisure hotel.

It’s the only hotel I have never stayed at and booked another. Everything about it was awful so I had to leave and book another hotel. I have never had to do that before. I have stayed and thought wouldn’t go again but never gone somewhere and left

Old smelly hotel.
Well the carousel wasn’t large enough for my vehicle so I was forced to park in the street. The room smelled damp and the wallpaper was hanging off the walls. My bathroom was down the hall and also smelled really bad. I was supposed to Stay for 2 nights but I had to leave after 1 night due to the conditions.

A lovely surprise.
What looks like an average place from the outside is lovely inside. The rooms were great and spacious and the owner was lovely and helpful. And it was good value.
