The hotel is pretty run-down. The room was clean, the TV worked but the beds were very narrow and uncomfortable. The toilet was clean, and there were towels, but again it was very small (shower, no bath).The breakfast in the morning was adequate, but with a bus load of Chinese tourists, the single person at breakfast was overrun. I would not recommend it

Basic, clean, comfortable 1 night stay.

The location was great for the station. The check in was via the bar and the man was very friendly and helpful. He appeared to be working alone. The hotel itself although clean and comfortable was in desperate need of updating and maintenance - the gutters were great for the grass! Didn't try the shower or the breakfast. Ok for 1 night.

Great staff, shame about the hotel.

Ample parking, friendly staff. Very dated and definitely not the best sleep ive had, bed was solid and creaky floorboards above me didnt help matters. Clean bed linen and fresh towels, breakfast was reasonable but little choice either hot or cold. Bar also called last orders at 20:30.

Decent hotel at a good price.

Good parking available onsite, a friendly welcome at reception, had expected a restaurant in the hotel, but was advised of local eateries by the guy on reception, which helped. Our room was compact but for one night it was fine, thick white towels and soap/shampoo supplied too. Plenty of hot water. Would stay again. We ate at the India Cafe, a 3 min walk and can highly recommend.

Our one night stay here was good in general. Not much interaction with staff. Entry to reception through the main front door proved difficult as entry was only via key card which you dont have until you have checked in. Entry through the bar to reception. The hotel was clean and food was very good.

Check in for two nights, we were told on arrival that it was chefs night off but would be open the following night but it wasn’t. A complete stranger opened our room door to come in on the second evening. He had been told this was his room, but obviously it wasn’t. The room had the bed against one wall which was inconvenient. It is in a great spot, easily accessible to the town and railway station.
