We just had a one night stay and dinner in the restaurant. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff on reception were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the food and the service in the restaurant in the evening and at breakfast. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Really good stay all round. Staff were lovely, food was lovely and everything was spot on. The rooms are a little dated but very well maintained. For what you pay, you really can’t complain. Would definitely stay again.
