Fabulous! Don’t be put off thinking it’s a pub hotel, it’s not, it’s huge and delicious breakfast

Staff were so friendly. Especially the lady in the breakfast area on the morning of the Tuesday 25th August, sorry I didn’t ask her name. She is a great asset, super friendly, helpful, engaged with us before we even had a chance to ask how the breakfast works. Lady’s on the reception also super friendly and smiley.

Good value for money and convenient location

Room was quite spacious. Whilst overall the hotel is quite dated, the room and ensuite bathroom had been recently updated to a very good standard (shower was excellent!). The location, with free parking, was excellent. Breakfast was very good and if booked at the hotel the night before, only £10 per head.
