Rooms dated and tired looking. Mattress very small for 2 people and pillows not very good. Not enough plug sockets by bed, only one available. Hot breakfast offering very poor, only egg choice is scrambled which was bland and tasteless, bacon and sausage were so overcooked you couldn't cut them with a knife.

Second time I have stayed here and plan to book again, love that it is so close to the centre but just far enough out to be quieter at night. The staff are always helpful and friendly. The rooms clean and the beds comfy. The breakfast is good, although I would suggest going down early as not a very big space if it’s busy.
