Friendly staff. Presented to very well prepared accommodation. Clear instructions provided for opening and closing times for entry plus arrangements outside these times if required. Well done 👏

Had to find parking a couple of streets away. Clean room and bathroom. TV was annoying to operate and poor sound. Plenty of teabags etc in the room, something that many places are stingy with. Breakfast was fab. Only one choice, full breakfast, but it was really good. Huge pot of coffee. Very happy with my stay.

Perfect place for a solo traveller on a budget. Fresh white linen and big, big bath sheet that was fluffy and white. Left alone to relax with my breakfast which was a lovely full English

The property seems to be in need of some renovation. The staff were very nice and enjoyed a laugh and joke. Breakfast was good. But at 7-30am way too early. The locals that were in there were more than happy to talk to us. Parking very difficult. Overall a better stay than we expected.

Perfect location, nice manager and staff. Room was small and clean but unable to open windows, so very stuffy. Single room could do with an uplift. If the windows would open, it would make a big difference. Breakfast was great.

A small, but adequate, clean room and shower room, with temperature controlled shower: (it's becoming a necessity. :) ). The towels and bath mat were also of high quality. The breakfast was OK, and there was parking around the back.

Easy to find and with a small to medium sized pub underneath. The room, although fairly basic and small (as reflected in the price) was clean. It had a perfectly acceptable en-suite shower and toilet complete with towels, a small TV set and a kettle with tea and coffee, My only gripe was a musty smell by the door at the bottom of the stairs in the main hallway (might have been coming from the carpet down there). For a budget option I have no complaints though especially as there was a cooked breakfast included in the price and the staff were terrific. Beware though that the rooms all overlook the beer garden which can get noisy at night (an occupational hazard with many rooms over pubs) but overall I enjoyed my stay.

Bed was very comfortable. Shower was powerful, bathroom clean. Walls, however are very thin, you can even hear people snoring. My room was just above the smoking area outside, which set the smoke alarm off. I came downstairs at 7.45 am, all doors were locked, so I couldn't have breakfast.

Smallest single room I have stayed in but bathroom good. Would have been ok if it was cleaned. Heating didnt work on one of the coldest nights, told guy behind bar, he came to check and said it should work now but he didnt really do anything to radiator that I hadnt tried. Room next door in and out all night until midnight. Horrible smell in corridors. Other than that had free on site parking and were friendly enough.
