Cons: The en suite shower room and toilet was were a bit awkward to access as the door opened inwards and blocked the access to the toilet. Easily sorted with a sliding or small bifold door and really my only criticism.

Pros: the lady that checked us in and out was friendly and the breakfast was lovely, the room was a nice size and had a large flat screen tv which was nice.
Cons: the bathroom door was difficult to get passed when going into the bathroom, it was too close to the sink and would be better if it opened the other way out into the room. the room was very hot in the night and I had to turn the radiator off because I couldn't sleep with the heat

Pros: Central location with lots of restaurants, pubs around. Great food in bar downstairs tho a little expensive
Cons: The room was tiny and the shower wasn’t good - either red hot or cold. The towel rail was really hot and it couldn’t be turned down. It would have been dangerous if a child had grabbed it

The bar is well stocked and the restaurant has a good choice of wine at reasonable prices. The shower was good with ample hot water and clean towels as necessary.
Cons: Our Superior Double Room (5) was showing its age with chipped furniture, marks on the carpet and stains on the fabric of the sitting chairs near the window. It was unclear what made it a Superior Room rather than a normal room? There was a lot of dust on items of furniture, particularly the dressing table and the coffee maker, thus making the coffee maker unusable. My wife sat on the bed to relax rather than use the stained chairs.
6.0 Good
Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was very good
Cons: The carpark is very small we rang to book a place we were told there would be plenty but when we arrived after a long journey there were no available places and we had to park on the road side then get up early to move it. The hotel itself is a bit shabby and dated.
