This hotel did the job and the staff were friendly and approachable. More maintenance needed as a heritage property, not modern. Gym not inviting. Haddock on the breakfast menu but never available :( Continental breakfast not great either.

Horrible stay
The room was cold and the central heating is on a time that the hotel owner can change. The windows were single glazed, droughty and ill fitting ie rattling in wind. House cleaning every 5 days or on request!! The so called hotel is actually two building away from the main hotel.

A fine budget hotel but lacks energy.
This is a budget hotel and is a good example of that. The small room was fine for the price. The double bed was very comfortable and we got a good nights sleep. The breakfast was really good. So for the price you pay it is what is expected. Unfortunately, there is one downside, the staff need to be more welcoming. Over the two nights we stayed not once did anyone show any enthusiasm or welcome us with a good morning and a smile. When we arrived back after a day out, no one smiled and asked if we had a good day. On check out we weren’t asked if we had enjoyed our stay. When we arrived for breakfast the first morning, I thought the man serving us was a maintenance worker. No uniform, he wore jeans, trainers and a fleece. When you arrive for breakfast you were not taken to a table, you were not explained how breakfast worked and again no enthusiasm. It is a shame as these are basic things that could be so easily rectified.

Small room. Cosy some would say. Own private bathroom, tv. Microwave, fridge. Everything you need. (All in one small space though) Very quiet always a plus. Didn't eat here, I was away before breakfast 7am. Smallest gym in the world, no weights. Only one machine to work out on. Glad no-one else was in the gym as I only booked for the gym.

Not great
Hotel feels very dated. I stayed in the small building at the rear of the hotel. The entrance to this building was grubby. Room had microwave and small sink and feidge which was great as restaurant options were very limited. Breakfast was good and nicely cooked. Not great but not terrible

The bedroom smelt of food because of the bathroom vents. Bedroom was small and paint was pealing off the walls in the bedroom and bathroom. Bathroom tiles where also damaged. Carpet had were ripped. I asked reception staff if i could change room because of the condition i was advise that the Hotel was full. when i had breakfast i was advised it was a quite day. Breakfast the sussage and hash browns were burn. worst hotel i have ever stayed in never again.
