Staff were really pleasant and were not an issue. The room and hotel is massively outdated and not worth the money it is sold for. In my opinion it is falsely advertised The pictures looked nothing like our room. The bedding was a yellow colour. The headboard has sweat stains on it. The bath side/floor was rotted, the furniture was extremely outdated. Rooms were too hot, when opening window the extract from the kitchen entered the room. Light from the hallway lit the room all night Not a good experience

Our room furnishing was basic but very clean and big enough for us and our 2 dogs. The water pressure in the shower wasn’t great but plenty of hot water. The staff were great and the food was excellent

We stayed for one night for a nearby wedding. The room was dated and tired, but clean. Breakfast took a while and wasn't great. There was only one waitress doing everything. The breakfast food quality wasn't great and everything was very greasy. I couldn't eat it.
