Liked: Staff & service
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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff were welcoming and the room clean but the room heating was inadequate. The radiator in the bedroom was never more than warm/tepid , the radiator in the showeroom was hotter. I was woken by the cold in the room at 3am of my stay. The corridor between the rooms was also cold.

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.
