Great wee family hotel. Clean, responsibly priced. Short staffed in bar. Staff ignoring due to same. Food surprising not great in bar and we normally aren’t very picky. Breakfast fine. Pool etc. great but needs modernised. Room grand. Can’t beat Jackson’s for value. Music in bar was great too.

Another excellent weekend at Jackson's! Friendly staff who left a card and chocolates for my wife on her birthday... a lovely touch! The food as always was excellent! Breakfast was hot and everything was always available due to the diligence of the staff. The swimming pool and health suite didn't disappoint and was never overcrowded during our stay. Car parking was available either side of the hotel and only a minute or two to walk away. Overall a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back again!
