Stayed here several times
It was nice and warm this stay, the heating went off a bit early on the last day though. I keep asking for a late check out but never get confirmation.

Frequent Guest
The heating needs to stay on longer in the morning. The late check out needs to be specified and charges paid before you stay. Otherwise a great place to stay

Linda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Easy check in by the friendly staff. The room was compact, a little chilly but fine. The bed was comfy. There was only a trickle of hot water in the sink but the shower worked and was nice and hot. In room shower gels, coffee, biscuits…. Thumbs up. Parking is close and free in the evening until 9am.

Nice local pub serving local ales, couldn’t fault the room just would have been good to have the option of a warm breakfast even a bacon roll etc
Jake, 3-night trip

No frills but great value
Rooms are above a busy, pub but once the pub closes it’s a very quiet location. Comfortable clean room. Friendly staff. Just a short stroll to the centre of town.

Nice pub
Really nice stay. It was a bit cold but the weather was cold for the time of year. A wardrobe would be better than the hanger rail.

Good place!
Good location, clean and tidy and had water bottles, tea and coffee. Was comfortable and warm. Only bad thing is the walls are quite thin so we could hear other guests talking.
