This property was perfect for our needs and we had the best sleep - the beds were so comfy! The staff were friendly and helpful, and we were walking distance from the Gordon Hotel which had a great feed since the Steakhouse wasn’t open. The bathroom tiles and floor needed a clean but overall it didn’t take away from our stay.

Booked because it had a Steak House attached- that’s closed. Obviously pet friendly- other patrons dogs barked all night. No hot water in the shower. Not happy to pay for accommodation with no food, no hot water and no sleep.
