This hotel is pretty run down, carpets in rooms are thread bare in certain areas. Bed was uncomfortable, no shower cap in bathroom. Had to pay £5 for parking and the car park is very cramped around the back.

The swimming pool was nice. It was hard to park, not a big car considering the size of the hotel. It needed more staff in the bar area. Plus it would easier if the staff in the morning at name badges so you could so see who was staff
