Property is very dated. Although clean. And staff were friendly. Convenient easy walk to the town centre. It is a busy roundabout so some vehicle noise. Overall good experience for the price.

Property is right next to a busy roundabout so there's the constant noise of cars and trucks accellerating and decellerating. Traffic is a bit less during the night. Units are not soundproofed and the furnishings are a bit dated. On the whole this property is ok for 1 night.

This was a lovely place to stay. The rooms were neat and clean, and the beds were comfortable. The only thing that disappointed me was that there was a stove/oven in the photo that I saw and I brought provisions for our meal accordingly. When we arrived, the room we were given had only a microwave and I had to go and pay for different food. This may have been my lack of attention to detail when I booked, but it did frustrate me. Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Everything was good apart from the bed was too cold. Needed a better duvet or another blanket. Had to buy one to keep warm the 2nd night. Heat pump wasn't working properly either. Probably needs filters cleaned
