The staff were lovely however, the room was less than ideal for the price point. There were stains on the walls and curtains as well as mold spores under the headboard. The bathroom had a lot of mold even on the shower head. To top it all off the light stoped turning on during the night luckily there was a functioning bedside lamp. For £95 for one night this was not worth that price point. There are hotels not too far I honestly recommend going there instead if you don’t mind the distance.
