Not surprising the Room smelt musty since it’s carpeted and spa in back. Room was clean, bed was fine. ##### Emma Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bonus to have a hot tub / spa allocated to most rooms.Easy walking distance to town and with the bar / restaurant and the Chinese takeaways not far up the road was a super bonus.
