It has seen better days. Shower only worked with a small red switch next to the bathroom which we had trouble finding, Water was either cold or scalding hot, Bed was too short for a 1.80 m Person + mattress old. Sheets were clean. Windows did not close.

Tv in room did not work, shower was barely a dribble, no hairdryer in room, did ask about one but they said no, beds were terrible, broken springs, very thin, see through curtains which are no use in summer, too light to sleep. Nobody there when we checked out so had to leave key on a table. However, the room itself was clean, the fan was very welcome as room was so hot, the water was a nice touch, but would not recommend staying there

Good location, friendly staff and check in. Room was outdated, bathroom ceiling all moldy (see picture)and shower in general poor condition. Soap holder was full of mildew/mould. Was a one off visit due to poor availability on dates but would not book again in future

Good wee hotel

Really pleased with the room, only 2 things were needing fixed. The toilet light flickered and bulb needs changed as showering in a strobe light is not great. Also I could not get the shower to get hot water on 2nd morning perhaps a clear procedure of how to operate the shower would help. Was not ideal at sub zero water temps this morning but I’m sure it would not take too much to make it easier to follow.

This property was cheap, so please keep that in mind, free parking on site. Staff friendly and bar was nice with reasonable prices and a pool table. Room on the smaller side but enough space for a short stay. We had allot of traveling so I booked this place due to the onsite restaurant, at the point we went this didn't exist. There is a Chinese across the road and a restaurant down the road opposite the petrol station, over the bridge so it wasn't the end of the world, but frustrating. Easy access to the rooms but by stairs, I don't believe there is any on the ground floor. Rooms with people staying quiet, bar noise did get to the room but I expected that, on a Friday night. If you want quiet pay more and don't stay above a pub. I can sleep through anything so no issue for me but if you can't then this isn't the location for you. We didn't have issues, checkout is just drop a key in a box. In all honesty this would be the perfect place if working in the area and you wanted a cheap room, especially twin, as basic but clean. But the title should be changed if the restaurant is not going to reopen.
