The Cedars Inn by Greene King Inns

The Cedars Inn by Greene King Inns

6/10 Okay
"Staff were amazing, location was great. The place itself isn’t bad. But the walls are so so thin you can hear everything the people staying next door are saying or doing. There was a lot of flys around the entrance of the door. Bar and restaurant was cheap and cheerful. Would I come back probably but not in a hurry."
