Absolutely awful stay. Despite saying I was on crutches was given a room with a shower over a bath. Bathroom was mouldy. Kept awake by drunk ppl in the room above mine till 4am. Fire alarm went off at 7 ( or something similar) which was loud enough to just about rock the room. So bad I just left after one night despite being booked in for a two night stay

The shower over the bath was difficult. The bath was dangerous with a large crack in the base and unstable floor. Shower curtain dirty. A grubby crack across the sink. Lighting in the bathroom inadequte. Rubish left by previous guest. Staff friendly and linen clean. Doesn't warrant more than 2 stars at most.

I enjoyed my stay
I enjoyed my stay in the standard queen room and will stay again. It was quiet. Appeared really clean and only spotted a couple of minor cobwebs. Bathroom very clean but no bath plug. Bed was super comfy and linen fresh and clean.

Rooms need revamped. Bath had a very large crack in it and felt unstable when having a shower. Bath too high and didn’t cater for invalid. Made it hard to get in and out of the shower with a disability

Offered ground floor rooms but then when realised we paid a discount gave us top room, completely out dated. Bed as hard as concrete, pillows the same. Very dark room bathroom outdated with shower over bath, no slip mat, slipped when exiting the bath. We were four guests and only had three shampoo/conditioners. Nobody at service desk morning or night. There was a side door which gave access 24/7 not secure anyone could come into the lodge upstairs rooms, even when nobody was at the desk. Check in, lady was on her mobile phone to someone the whole time I was checking in and I felt rushed to check in. Room was clean and cleaners were so lovely and welcoming (unlike service desk). Fairly good position was probably a 5 minute walk to town but very bloat woke all night to trucks an d loud cars motorbikes etc . It has potential to be a really nice place, until then won’t be returning.
