Good Value

I found the Hotel to have very friendly, helpful staff and I thought the room was good value for money.
Mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Everything in the hotel took me back to my younger days and set us off a reminiscing about the 1990's. There are some nods to the 21st century but luckily they don't get in the way. The only downside is that the bathroom could have used some black mould remover in places. If you're looking for a class of 1997 reunion venue I would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely place great staff ideal parking had great time making memories cant fault it
Mike, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was a little tired but clean, comfy bed and good shower so key point were catered for. Also a good selection and quality breakfast The hotel desperately needs some illumination outside, it looks closed from the main road and the inroad and carparks are not lit at all, it must loose trade because of this if it wasn't for the satnav I would of passed it several times before seeing it.
