Room was double booked, so we had to have 2 rooms of which one was not en suite & had to share a toilet. My room was very cold & windows rattled all night, room 2 was very small. Staff were very friendly & helpful but whole hotel seems very dated

Friendly and helpful, and seemed a nice area. Parking was on the road with permit but we arrived mid afternoon so no problem finding space but full early evening.
The breakfast was nice in a proper old fashioned guest house sort of way.

Very happy. It did what it said on the tin.
A little old fashioned.... which was right nice!!
Local to The Cliffs for a show. Early check-in was very welcomed alone with parking, so able to go off, have a walk, a drink & enjoy the show.

Not good at all because they disappointed me for family apartments I booked and gave me other rooms, so my family was not happy so we decided to check out 3night after instead of 7nights.
