We were accommodated for very well, and we found this to be the better hotel out of the 4 we stayed in over our week trip doing the NC500. It’s not exactly the Ritz but it’s clean, comfortable and cosy. In a decent location (not much to do in the town but it was nice and quiet). Would stay here again if we were near the area in a heartbeat!

Clean room, comfortable bed, hotel a little dated but staff friendly enough. Breakfast cooked to order so be prepared to wait a little. Restaurant closed, bar meals choice of 3 main meals, fish, scampi and chicken burger. Had the fish and it was terrible but charged restaurant prices, ate elsewhere for rest of stay.
The stay was good..bar not great didnt have many drinks and no food

Very good value for the very little it cost. Fine for short stay. Staff were helpful and considerate about parking. The property needs renovation urgently.

Interesting place, clean and cheap
The hotel was a grand place in its time, its a bit tired and could do with a make over.
The staff were pleasant and food was very nice, the evening meal menu was good how, however, and this could be my mis understanding !
I did not realise the menu was a set 3 course so having just one main and being charged for a starter and desert I didnt want was a little off putting.
That aside for the cost which inclueds breakfast its good value.

Old hotel in need of modernisation, but appears well-run and is reasonably comfortable.
