Clean, friendly & comfortable.

Very welcoming from young lady at reception, room clean & comfortable with good shower, although could do with rubber safety mat as quite slippery. Good breakfast with quick service from same young lady, seems she was running the place single handed, a good jib shr was doing too. Would certainly stay again.

A perfect stay.

We came by rail. The choice of food was perfect. A smaller kettle would have been an advantage - to fit better under the tap. Also a larger coffee pot, so that it contained a 'top up'. One of the best hotels we have stayed at. Thankyou.

I will stay again

I have stayed here three times don’t forget to put your car registration in the car park. The back of the hotel is a lot quieter than the front Wi-Fi is good. Breakfast is nice and starts at 7 am.The only thing that needs to be sorted out are the windows I have to wedge them open with something. I will be staying again.
