We had a 1 night stay in August. The weekend after the Lamas Fair. There was no entertainment in the hotel. There was also no bar to go to; we had to keep looking for a server for drinks. The restaurant has to be pre booked and the food was OK but not worth the prices. Bedroom was comfy and clean. No smart TV. Also road noise woke us. The home made short bread was awful; far too dry. I’d say if we hadn’t met a lovely family in the residents lounge it would have been a less than average experience.

What we didn’t like 1. The large mobile fan in the room wasn’t working, and the windows only opening a couple of inches so the heat in the room was unbearable. I rang the receptionist twice in 2 hrs to see if it could be replaced. It took over 4hrs for a replacement working fan to be installed in the room. 2. The toilet roll in the room was nearly empty with no replacements. Also the toilet was lacking a simple toilet brush.
