My stay was a short one, overnight. My room was spacious and clean, with very modern fixtures and decor. I have stayed here about 15 years ago and found the refurbished rooms a delight. Will definitely stay here again.

This property was in an ideal location for us. Though the facilities were a little outdated they were very clean and well presented. the surrounds were kept neat. Our late arrival was accommodated without any issues. We would stay again if the opportunity arose.

Property is quite dated. Could do with an update. Paintwork, decor, technology and landscaping all need some attention. Bed was adequate but not as comfortable as many I have encountered. Value for money was ok and everything was clean and tiday.

Good value but you do get what you pay for. Interior has seen better days but, basically, there is nothing wrong with it. No security chain on door but there is a modern electronic lock. The room had a connecting door to the room next door which wasn’t lockable but appeared secure as only one side of each door had a door handle. Location picks up a lot of road/traffic noise. Also noisy from other guests - rooms don’t appear to be insulated from noise.
