The hotel rooms were spotless, with plenty of pillows and a well-stocked tea tray after undergoing a good refurbishment. They were large, cozy, and warm, but some areas showed signs of needing a refurbishment as the walls were dated with peeling wallpaper.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, and the whole hotel had a lovely atmosphere. However, some rooms were quite worn down and had an overwhelming smell of sour milk or cream. Noise disturbances late at night from other guests affected my stay negatively.

Location

The hotel's location worked for me as it was close enough to the center but away from the noisy main road. However, on bonfire night, there was a dead rat on the driveway, which was off-putting.

Dining

The dining experience was good overall with fast staff and easy access, but I would have preferred a better choice of cereals.

The self-service dining was convenient and the free parking was a bonus.
