Room was tiny and nowhere near worth £100. Heating was also not on with sub zero temperatures outside.

Smallest single room I have stayed in but bathroom good. Would have been ok if it was cleaned. Heating didnt work on one of the coldest nights, told guy behind bar, he came to check and said it should work now but he didnt really do anything to radiator that I hadnt tried. Room next door in and out all night until midnight. Horrible smell in corridors. Other than that had free on site parking and were friendly enough.

The single room was adequate for a one night stay. furniture was a bit dated and could go with updating. Breakfast was good, would stay there again.
