EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECTED. Comfy bed and good shower.
Stayed here for 1 night as we booked the night before bank holiday and everywhere else was booked.
It was sleepable, easy enough to live in for 1 night.
But otherwise unclean, the bedding on one bed had stains, the shower had hair in it, and the cavity between the wall and shower cubicle was choc full of cobwebs, and the bathroom door handle was just about hanging in there.
Great location. Ideal distance from town centre. Rooms comfy. Stayed here now 3 or 4 time's and each time has been spot on.bar connected to property so a little noise in the evening but this is to be expected. Dodnt botger us but may bother others
i think it was expensive for what you got,
not up to scratch

Just an excellent hotel
The stay was excellent the hotel was clean and the staff were great also the local people were really friendly I have stayed in many hotels but would really like to recommend this hotel and will return next week when I go back to work in Barry
Good for the price. Clean room and comfortable bed. No meals onsite so asked girl behind the bar for ding options. Not much help , said McDonalds and a takeaway down the road . Turns out we found a choice of two good pubs! Only five minutes round the corner. Overall ok.
First of all the staff member blonde women fire her rude in a instant of meeting me told me to wait to ours in barrow just so I could go to my room knowing it's a really quiet hotel day and that it wouldn't be a big deal to try get it done early so I could get some rest didn't even show me where my room was or tell me the WiFi password had to ask a member of the public room has a wall with a hole in it shower head covered in mold told me I'd get fined for smoking in my room even though she clearly seen me have a cigarette outside told me I'd get a fine for losing my key after explaining I was stoping my partner from harms way due to a idiot driver loud music till midnight every night no free breakfast taky rooms that leed right into the public's view from the window very hard to find without asking someone first hand then when I was ready to leave came not 1 not 2 but free hours every at 8 when my check outs at 11 to try clean my room keep in mind I was asleep in bed and just barged in didn't even apologize just turned around and walked out this blonde women who works as a receptionist fire her stg worst hotel I've ever been in
Lovely big light airy room. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, two of the beds squeaky badly. I slept on the (comfortable) matress in the floor. A shame as otherwise, it was a lovely place! An easy fix i would think.
