Dirty and smelly room
The room was dirty, smelly, and hot due to water boiler in the room. Only a small window for such a hot room. The service was terrible because they were not bothered about these complaints.

Overall the room was very tired, lack of attention to cleaning let it down. Stayed for a meal on one night, they were very under staffed. The staff were very friendly when you saw them. Is was fine of a long weekend and they allowed dogs to stay

Hotel review
The room needed updating, new carpet and the bathroom area needed some mould removal. Comfortable beds and quiet. Parking was a struggle, recommend parking on the main road. Just to note our room area building had no lifts.
