Should have wrote this review straight away but never got round to it. This B & B was the most disgusting place we had ever booked. On arrival we were told that our room was not ready as the cleaners were still in there. When we got our keys for the room we found that the room had not been... More

How can I get started...!!! Once you enter this hotel you would smell a terrible sausages smell that would make you feel like throwing up. I stayed there for 13 nights with friends, 2 double rooms and 1 triple. My room was average, had a large double bed, a couch, a TV, an extremely small closet, a kettle that doesn't... More

Upon entry we were greeted kindly by a warm reception that was clean and bright with a charming recepionist that was very friendly. I shared a twin room with one other on... More

Excellent value, reasonably good rooms and facilities, very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast (not cooked on Sunday). Our rooms were spacious, clean and ideal for a weekend break.
