The room (3) was clean and tidy, but fairly obviously still old and tired in some parts; bathroom been re-tiled? but vanity structure edge-flawed - No soap holder in shower - No shower curtain so water spread to slipperiness level - Fan switch did nothing - Two ceiling lights in lounge area did not turn on - impossible to contact anyone after six-ish in the evening, and very LATE start up next morning.

Hard to rate as Reception was unattended when I arrived and departed so I didn’t meet anyone. The room was pleasant and comfortable but the shelf above the bench hadn’t been cleaned for a while.

I booked site unseen so didn’t really know what to expect. The unit I stayed in would have benefited with a spring clean and the whole bathroom was very tired and in need of updating. The shower was good and the unit was quiet. It was also close to some shops so if you wanted to you could have a wander and a browse

We had a great stay, 6 women for 2 nights, attending a 40th party nearby!! Everything was good when we arrived, apart from not enough towels, loo paper & blankets but as soon as I spoke to the very efficient staff all was rectified with no problem at all!! Will stay here again definitely!!!

Super easy check in and good value for money. Room did have a slight smell and could do with updating - the linen was stained and could really do with an update - the white towels were ‘grey’ although we could tell they were in fact clean.
