Booked this place for 11 of us for a Stag Weekend over 2 nights. Wasn't expecting much at £15.00 per head per night. Was pleasantly surprised when we got there. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Rooms and facilities clean and just what you need for an over night stay. Even had toast, cereal and tea and coffee available in... More

We were given the wrong advice about parking when asked and as a result received a parking ticket. Beds uncomfortable and noisy. Heating difficult to control. Showers cold. Shower head was not even fixed so... More

It was very funky! The staff are so easy to chat with and meet, they make you feel really welcome and they are very friendly. The bar is cool and... More

The room is nothing close to the picture in the hotel website. It's not clean. The hotel is stuffy! The only thing I like is its location. Never stay at that hotel again! More

Where to begin? When I arrived I was greeted by a building that reminded me of the house in the Amittyville horror. The comparison with horror films doesn't end there as the room reminded me of Buffalo Bills house in Silence of the Lambs...and I'm talking about the room with the girl and the dog in the basket were staying...
