Cannot wait to stay here again
Fantastic. Issue to a recent injury I had to use a walker and the staff were fantastic at finding me a room on the first floor because the lifts were not in use. The staff were great at h carrying the walker up and down the stairs when I needed to go out and were just lovely. The room was great and quiet and had high ceilings and a really comfortable bed and pillows. I will stay here again.

Great, affordable hotel close to shops and public transport. Family of 4 and they had single beds for the kids and king for us. Super comfy beds. Small room with little storage but suited our needs. Bathroom was fresh and clean.

Location is perfect on every aspect. Room (single) was all you need and although lacking in cupboards, was well laid out for an overnight stay. Recommended.
