The shower was dreadful and the hot water turned into very cold water after only a few minutes which did not help as the room was freezing. I decided to not stay the second night and stopped somewhere else as it was like sleeping outside. The bar facilities was dreadful no soft drinks at all. I would not recommend this hotel to anybody. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 9 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nick 14 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### very nice place to stay very nice room and the breakfast was lovely too ##### nick Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### john 13 Sept 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Breakfast and service was top class.
