Room was cleaned, well-equipped and met our expectations.
Did not realise it was located above a pub. The stairs leading to the rooms were scruffy/ dirty and could have done with a hoover.

It is really central and with parking close by so you can drive and park with ease. Staff are super kind and polite. Shout out to Kayleigh for my morning bacon muffin and to Maddison for making my room beautiful each morning. In addition, it is also a pub so you can have one last one before bed should you want to. Beds are extremely comfy so, overall, after a lot of walking it was a great rest. Thanks guys. Will definitely recommend and repeat

Very Poor
There was nothing to like.
The room was tiny, not as advertised. Inside the furnishings were run down, lights not working, fittings broken and room not very clean. The bed was slumped on one side. Breakfast was meant to be served at 8am which is late. However, orders were not taken until 8:20 after the chef dashed in at 8:15. Breakfast was eventually served at 8:40.
