A nice reasonably priced bed for the night
I was looking for a reasonably priced place for an overnight stay for a work trip without spending over £100.00 on some of the "cheep hotel chains rooms".
This little nugget was just what was needed, a nice comfy bed, ease of access, polite and friendly staff.
When I asked for suggestions on where to eat as their kitchen was closed and it was spot on!

Very comfortable budget stay
Absolutely perfect for what we needed, budget hotel that is clean and comfortable with parking included. Very convenient location and friendly staff.
Only downside was the television didn't work and the shower head was broken.

Overhaul required
Overall filthy with old dirty cobwebs, four poster dusty, tired room in need of a total overhaul and redecorating. The only positive was on check out we were offered a 50% refund with no quibbles.
