The rooms were clean but very tired. Bath, sink and bathroom floor all very old. However bed was comfy, had all we needed for a one night stay
Staff were very helpful, the room was a good size but perhaps a little dated and a microwave in the room would have been useful. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of parking.
We enjoyed our stay here. The facilities and room was very clean. The beds were super comfortable. Overall a great place, and the staff were lovely. We’ll definitely be back.
Thank you!
