All good. Nice cooked breakfast cereals. No availability of the limited on-site parking but there was plenty within a stones throw away at the parking lot next to the police station. Note... this parking lot is free overnight and currently free during the day despite the sign saying it's limited to 4 hours unless you pay £2... check with reception for your stay.

Overnight weekend stay
Our room was spotless. However, looked nothing like the published room photos - much plainer. The beds were very poor quality and terribly uncomfortable. Balanced out against lovely staff and a fantastic breakfast. Parking - limited.

The hotel is above a smoky bar. The room did not smell at all of smoke - thank you. Found hair in the bathroom from previous guests, so we did not even want to shower while there. The bed felt nice, and the breakfast was wonderful. Did not feel very safe, as there was just a click-style lock on the door with no peephole. Staff was kind and helpful.

Family room we stayed in met our requirements. Breakfast was good with enough basic choices. Staff, in particular for Sunday breakfast and check out were excellent. Several places to eat, in close proximity to the hotel plus a mega supermarket two minutes walk away. No problem for us, but may not suit guest/s with mobility challenges - no lift and offsite parking a short distance away. We arrived by car so difficult to assess what public transport options are like.

The room i had was very dated , definitely need new mattress i nearly rolled off the sides were so worn. Uncomfortablly hot , there was a single fan but no plug socket near bed to have it near me so pointless. Luckily i was very tired so would have slept in a clothes line . Next morning i noticed everything was very clean bathroom was fine had everything i needed and also very clean . Breakfast was lovely vegetarian fry up amd toast , there was cereal and fruit juice on offer service was quick and all the staff i met were very helpful and accomodating . Really does.need updating such a shame its like this
