8/10 Good
"Excellent staff, in all areas. Polite, friendly and ready to assist. The hotel is situated not far from all forms of transport and on the edge of town, so lots of shops and restaurants. My room was ground floor in the courtyard, very clean and comfortable. My only complaint with it would be the lack of a extractor fan in the bathroom, only one small window for ventilation. It meant the adjacent bedroom felt damp, due to the condensation. Parking also an issue, small car park which was full. Nearby public car park, not good if you have mobility issues. It would stop me from using this hotel again, which is disappointing. The breakfast was lovely, and staff were thoughtful. Good selection to cater for all."

"We received a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The shower was amazing and after walking a big section of the SWCP it was very welcomed. Sadly we ran out of puff to enjoy the pool (indoor and outside). The ability to park and leave vehicles there was an added benefit. The bar menu offered great choices, and the breakfast was a pleasant treat. I would deffo recommend and be more than happy to return next time I am in the area."
