A lovely place to stay, we had a fab time and would certainly stay here again. The rooms are exactly as depicted on the web site, very clean and have everything you need. The bed was comfy, sheets are super soft and the shower was perfect. Parking was easy with the permit left for us when we arrived. The staff are very welcoming, helpful and a credit to the management.

Clean B and B

A great location, clenliness was good and the staff were polite and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful, only niggle was the beans were luke warm on both mornings. Our room had a fridge, hairdryer etc which was handy. The bed had a frame which as i am over 6 feet tall didn't allow me to lay down. The shower cubicle was small and with the caddy in it which made it quite compact. When on cold the shower had good pressure but when warm, pressure was very poor so unable to shower properly.
Ashley, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The partition walls seem to me made from something that amplifies noise, not only I could hear what my neighbour was saying on the phone but also the replies. Someone went out and left a dog in a room which immediately started a long series of barks, howls and whines lasting into the early hours and expressing a cycle of annoyance, anger, fear, loneliness, anguish and despair. Plus, no breakfast, a sneaky trick to play on someone who doesn't read the small print.

2/10 Poor

Not great

We knew from the start it was a budget b&b but was not quite expecting it to be quite a bad as it was. Our room was changed before we arrived for some reason, the room was a small double but was more like half a room as it was part of the slanting roof. The room smelt like stagmant pond water from the drainage in the bathroom and there were dog hairs on the bedding. Needless to say we will be giving it a miss from now on. Was very disappointing after reading previous reviews.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is ideally situated near to the spa. Parking wasn’t a problem and the hotel sorted us out with permits needed at a small extra cost. The staff are great, really friendly and were always there to make sure we had everything we needed. The room itself was lovely, we stayed in room 18 and we couldn’t fault it. Spacious, clean, the bathroom was clean and modern, the room has a fridge in so you can keep milk etc in your room . There were loads of teabags which is a big plus for myself and it was Yorkshire tea so they didn’t scrimp on them. The room is well thought out with enough sockets in there and situated where you want them. We had a room at the back of our bed where you could hang your clothes and the missus even had a dresser to get ready with a mirror etc. We had a hearty breakfast in the morning plus there are cereal’s and yoghurt’s if you want them. I would recommend this hotel to anybody and would love to stay again.
