This Hotel is without doubt the WORST I've ever stayed in. From the minute we walked in I knew it was going to be bad, the smell was enough to tell me that. When we got to the rooms it got worse, they were small, dirty and cold. The bathroom had no light in it and a hole in the... more

This hotel should be closed down, paid for an en suite and got a cold shower that dribbled water and a toilet covered in stains. The floors were rotten and the beds were aincient , in one room the window wouldnt open and another was broken, stay well clear more

all i can say is we have been to this hotel for the past 3 years and we have had no problems with our stay...... the rooms are great, atmosphere great with the bar being open later if you want to come back early you can and have a drink and know that your bed is just up the stairs....... more

We arrived early and asked where we park, advised in car park and given key to our room, we thought great room ready early, when we got to the room it was not ready and previous guests were still in, once they left we found the room was small and decor needed modernising which we could obviously cope with if... more

I have been staying in this hotel for the past 3 years. Hugh and Lynn have been the perfect host's catering to any of our request's. I found the rooms to be spotless as is the rest of the hotel. The bar is SMOKE FREE (as I know from experience) and the staff are always friendly and helpful at all... more

I and a group of friends have just returned from a 2 night stay at this hotel. It is far from gr8. The hotel smells of stail smoke as soon as you walk through the front door. The rooms are far from clean. The floors are dirty, the walls the same. The fact that the hotel front door stays open... more

I cannot understand why anyone could say that there is a stale smell of smoke whilst checking into the Hotel as everyone is aware there is a smoking ban in place (this might have been the case before the ban came into effect) There is no smoking allowed in any of the public areas of the Hotel.
