The hotel is situated in a good location in the town centre and the takeaway breakfast was a nice touch. However the bed was not comfortable and I did not sleep well. It was a windy night and the windows were rattling which woke me up and kept me awake. The property is a bit dated and could do with an upgrade. ##### Greg Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### E 30 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very friendly service and clean room.

The window had a gap and on a road so not the quietest or warmest, the shower was cold and they served turkey rashes instead of bacon for breakfast, beef sausages fine but come on. The staff are great and the hotel is clean.

Parking was a little limited but I managed OK. Didn't make breakfast as I was away too early. Great welcome from the manager though and you could tell there was great attention to detail overall - it's the little things that matter. I would definately aim to stay here again when next in the area. ##### chris Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 7 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Matthew Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 23 Apr 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Very steep windy stairs to get to our room but as we were only staying one night we didn't change to an offered refurbished suite on a lower floor for an extra €10 per night.
