We stayed here for a couple of nights in the summer, when the weather was really hot. No air con but window open and they provided a fan, meant we still slept fine. Decent size rooms, good condition and good size bed. Staff were lovely, would recommend.

A great find with lovely staff!

A really lovely place to stay, plenty of parking on site and all of the staff from arrival, dinner and breakfast were fabulous. The rooms are a good size, comfy bed and plenty of amenities. The food was lovely for both dinner and breakfast. The bathroom was a little tired and the shower temperature a bit temperamental but that is being picky! Highly recommended and I will definitely stay again.

Overnight stay

We gave stayed here before but the new owners have made great improvements. The room was spacious and the staff debaerslly were welcoming and efficient. The only exception being at breakfast where the Chinese server could perhaps benefit from some hospitality training. Otherwise an excellent stay.

Nice place to stay

Great hotel, clean and welcoming. Breakfast was good, staff were great and service was good, just ashame new manager decided to change the menue this time around. I mean who really eats spinach ravioli 😂 working men just want a nice decent meal after work. But overhaul the place is clean and comfortable, the staff is what makes this place, always smiling.
