I only stayed one night and chose this hotel due to it's closeness to my work the next day. The staff and owners were very friendly, the room was clean and tidy. They are obviously in the process of updating the decor but my room was a good size with a new shower and furniture. The bar is light and... More

This hotel is pretty average. I didn't get value for money for what I paid. £50 per night midweek and breakfast was extra. At this price range you would expect a better premises, room and facilities. The pros - friendly staff, good location close to town/marina, nice front bar. The cons - overpriced, very little parking, breakfast costs extra, a... More

I stayed for one night, and chose this hotel for its closeness to the town centre. The room was huge, No8, as was the T.V. a 40'' with perfect sky reception. The staff that I met were all very friendly, and helpful. Breakfast was excellent value. The owner gave me lift to where my meeting was, a good 5 miles... More

Avoid this "HOTEL" at all costs. Beggars belief how it can even be described as a hotel!!! The level of service was terrible and it certainly was not value for money. Our room was never cleaned. In fact, we had to ask for clean towels (which we only got once) and toilet rolls (which we ended up buying at the... More

This is an old coaching in that could be great. The owners are very friendly, nice people. The location is fine. The rooms are large and have some nice fittings such as good quality curtains and furniture. There is off street parking. The downside is that it is not clean. The carpet in my room had not been hoovered. There... More

We were here about a week, and it was very well. Nice, tidy and clean en-suite room with good facilities. Close to the town centre (10 minutes walk). The owners are very lovely and helpful, the staff is also very friendly. The food was amasing, we loved the chef's burger and the breakfast was plentiful. We would recommand this place... More

To get access to the hotel, we had to call a telephone number and wait for about 10 minutes for somebody to come and let us in! When booking we specifically asked for a smoking room and were told they only had 1. (This room by the way, is via a shop front...!) Ok, that's fine, we all know how... More
