Special thanks to Christine on reception, although all the staff were cheerful and helpful. We were in the older buildings which were very scruffy and untidy around the grounds. Moved from first room due to unbearable heat, second room much better but nowhere to put clothes that were not on a hanger. Bath very slippy, beware !! Needs a safety met.

I heard a few bad reviews so I was a bit apprehensive about booking . The moment I arrived at the reception it did take a few moments for the staff to allocate a room but it wasn’t a long wait I was approached with smiles . The staff are friendly and always helpful . The room was exceptionally clean , equipped with a microwave /fridge freezer and cutlery /mugs /tea and coffee /milk and a kettle . I slept like a baby . No Air conditioner but a fan but to be fair it’s a 3 star hotel so I wasn’t expected an AC although it would have been great (lol). Breakfast was decent . Please do not go by the reviews on here , book it and experience it for yourself . I don’t know what people were really expecting for a 3 star hotel but I was genuinely impressed.

An older built but quiet hotel

The Hotel is of the older brick build so no noise from above . Very quiet at night The room though clean would be improved with one coat of paint and a small plaster repair. The staff were very friendly and did an excellent job making me welcome. Great value breakfast.

I was really impressed with the facilities in my room. As well as an ensuite shower room, the wardrobe contained a fridge with freezer compartment, microwave, kettle, kitchen sink, cutlery and crockery. The only downside was that I couldn't turn the heated towel rail off, so the room was a bit warmer than I would have liked.
