Rooms are big and have everything you need. The place is clean, lots of parking, there's a bar, vending machine and self serve kitchen. Staff are attentive and welcoming and will bring drinks to your room. One of the best parts is that children are not allowed

Welcoming and professional staff night and day always a lovely welcome. Nice downstairs bar with snacks as well and vending machines. Lovely warm comfy clean beds with plenty room to move about. En suite was spot on. Only downsides was furniture was mismatched (but still functioning and a nice room with stylish flooring). Also lack of ketlle ( no reason not bring a travel one or asking the staff and they'll put the kettle (free coffee and tea) so you don't have to wait for the boiler, also mug instead of cup and saucers available on request.

We’ve stayed a couple of times for a girls weekend away. The owner Andy and his colleagues Adam & Glen make this hotel. Pure gentlemen and such good crack! It’s not a couple or family hotel it’s somewhere to stay for a party or session with friends! We will be back again and again! Close to town for a night out and only £7 in an Uber there and back.
