EXCELLENT stay!
great value separate rooms
I appreciated that the hotel offered GREAT value for money. The location was excellent for town and the train station. I stayed in the Quadruple Room and discovered the two double beds were in separate rooms. It was a pleasant bonus because I assumed the beds would be in the same room.
The breakfast was awful. Burnt sausage and missing bacon were served. Tomatoes and black pudding were also missing. A member of staff said, "sorry, that's all we have left. " it wasn't the BEST service from the breakfast staff.
