a proper breakfast changed my mind.

warm roomclean roomfresh breakfastdrab hotel
the room was warm and clean which i loved. my bed had two pillows, it was nice. the english breakfast i had was probably one of the best ever. it was all cooked fresh just how i like it. the plate was hot with beans and tomatoes in a separate dish.
i believe the hotel could use updating as it looks quite drab.

Fantastic Stay, Clean Room and Great Breakfast!

clean showerfirm bedchipped paintwork
The room included a clean shower, and the bed was really firm (perfect for a good night's sleep!). I enjoyed the fast and efficient reception service with free parking available. Breakfast was really good and cooked to perfection. I especially enjoyed the breakfast (especially the pancakes!).
The decor looked a bit outdated, with chipped paintwork evident in the room.
