    Everything was good except for the room wasn’t sound proof as I can hear phone conversations on next room n middle of the night conversation in a very clear manner.

    We had stayed here before 3 years ago - They offered Soap in the evening and A basic Breakfast ( Toast etc ) in the Morning This was a nice touch and appreciated - Forward 3 years and the Soap after inspecting the fridge it was stored in we elected to pass this - Breakfast was verbally advised to us 7.30 am - We were there in expectation but after a wait decided to travel on - Sad really - On a positive the room was clean and well presented Reception Staff was pleasant and plenty on on site Parking - Negative is in the Review

    Unbearable odour!!! Would not reccomend

    Friendly staff. Good location. Liked that there was a heated blanket. However... The cleanliness and condition of this place is poor. I couldn't bring myself to brush my teeth or wash my face on our last day as when I would use the bathroom (was in a private bedroom/bathroom) I couldnt help but gag continuously due to the foul odor coming from the sink pipes. The shower smelt like urine. There was black coloured mould growing in the shower. Would not recommend this place.

    Unit was a bit small. Had poor reception for tv whilst raining. Room selection not good for an old man to walk up stairways to his unit.
