Needs new beds
Sorry to say this but we had a great room, suite I think, but the let down was the bed. The mattress was completely collapsed and we had a very uncomfortable night.

First appearance was off putting, the building is old and in need of some 'curb appeal' and repainting. The room was very clean but very dark decor. The breakfast was excellent and staff friendly

Lovely place to stay. Very friendly staff. Unfortunately the Expedia website is misleading - there is NO on site car parking. The only parking available is in Pay & Display car parks nearby.

Wonderful Stay
We had a lovely one night stay here! We actually stayed for our wedding night and the room was comfortable and had a very large bath and shower. It was clean and the staff were very friendly. Thank you!
