A traditional Hotel which is being updated and upgraded. Our bedroom and bathroom are new and modern, and the quality throughout the hotel is of a high standard. The owners and their staff were extremely friendly, likeable and accommodating; food[including a comprehensive breakfast] & menu very decent; free parking also a plus. Highly recommended.

Regular stop

I always stay here when I visit family. I think it's under new management and there has been some upgrading in the rooms, I noticed new bed, kettle and toilet amongst others. The staff are always friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Unclean and noisy

Very basic room. Bathroom didn’t seem to have been cleaned before my arrival. There was a ‘nugget’ in the toilet when I arrived. In fairness to the last person who stayed there, the flush was awful as it is an old building. However, I expect someone to come in and check the room and clean the bathroom before my arrival. I avoided using the shower due to this. The tv remote was absolutely filthy and when I did turn the tv on (after wiping the remote with anti-bac) it was last on an adult channel. The window had a big gap in the top of it and unfortunately the room was right outside a bus stop, so it was very noisy. I also woke up in the middle of the night to youths shouting and swearing in the street. I didn’t stay for breakfast but the pub downstairs did seem nice. Personally, I would not recommend.

Stayed for one night during cycle tour. Friendly welcome and safe storage for my bicycle. Nice bar, eating area, good food, beer. Breakfast very good. Downside was room very small and very close to a busy, noisy road. Could do with double glazing...
