The website has not been updated. There is no restaurant or breakfast as stated as neither was there a pool although a photo of one is on the website. It is a building site which looks terrible. The only saving grace was the old rooms we stayed in had been refurbished so they ere attractive and the bathrooms were modern. Was strange however that the bathroom had no mirror or sink so teeth brushing had to happen in the kitchen sink which in reality was a bathroom style basin which wasn’t suitable to was dishes in.

Nice property that has recently been refurbished, so the room was updated, clean, new furniture, freshly painted and modern bathroom. Location was excellent as it was right in town. Excellent value considering the rooms are modern.
