very good staffsecurity fenceemergency information
the staff were very good.
There were several security codes needed after the pub closed. One was for a builder's security fence with a padlock in a dark courtyard. i had trouble with the electronic code entry and could not get into my room at 1 am, with no emergency contact information available. i felt panicked and vulnerable.

Acceptable Stay

great locationfriendly staffrestored buildingdusty roomcreased beddingmissing bin
The location was great, directly opposite a large car park. It was a very short walk of about 5 minutes to the town centre. I also found the staff very friendly, customers included. The building's exterior was beautifully restored.
The room was dusty. The bedding was also creased. There was no bin, so we couldn't use the kettle to make a drink. I decided to leave early because of this.

the staff were very friendly. local customers were cute too. i liked the rooms and the general decor. the rooms looked to be of a high standard.
the room i stayed in was really dusty. the bedding looked a bit creased. there was no bin and no cups in the room, so i couldn't use the kettle to make a drink (that was annoying).
