Disliked: Cleanliness
As soon as we entered the room, we felt that smelly heavy odor of damp. Even the shower head had some black moldy looking areas, as well as the tiles in the bathroom. Sheets and towels were clean but towels felt a bit damp.
Mushrooms and black mould growing on the walls. Hot water barely works, water pressure was awful and made to feel unwelcome by management. All in all avoid this place

We were happy with our stay. For £80 and our family for 1 night as a stopover before France it was fine. The decor isn't modern or flash so don't expect too much and water pressure in the taps was pretty awful in honesty. But the staff at check inn were nice and polite.

Receptionist/Bar man was amazing, could not fault his service at all.
Bed was broken, dipped in the middle and left us both with a sore back the next morning, was meant to be a queen but it was definitely only a double. Shower was broken, attachment to turn off shower was faulty and I ended up very wet trying to switch it to the taps. Shower constantly leaking throughout the night. Bar could do with being a bit more stocked up, ran out of vodka.
Arrived at the hotel to a ply wood headboard on the bed very strange smells and generally dirty, booked a different hotel within 5 minuets of being there and left!
Very nice and quiet place for holidays with stunning view so the plus point for this place everything’s on walking distance and the hotel staff was very nice and friendly.
The bathroom needs updating - hardly any water pressure in our room. Had to ask for extra towels as only provided for one person. Bedding (valance) was ripped.
