All the staff are very helpful and approachable. A good healthy breakfast is on offer with a selection of fresh fruit...important to us as we do not eat cooked breakfast. This is not a new, ultra-modern hotel-it is a little shabby in places but kept clean and comfortable.

I liked the helpfulness of the staff on arrival. I had a very clean single room and bathroom to stay overnight. Clean towels and a good bath/shower with lovely warm water. The breakfast had an excellent choice and clean tablecloths/crockery/cutlery. The car park was big and I really appreciated being able to leave my car until about 3.00pm on my day of departure. Thank you !

This hotel was in a quiet location. The staff were really helpful. There wasn't a fridge in the room and I had some medication that needed storing in the fridge, so they stored it in the kitchen fridge and bought it to metas required.. The decor is a little 'tired' but it wasn't a problem. Air conditioning was not available but the windows opened quite far, which helped.
