We enjoy the stay, the staff were very accomodating.
This is a great place to stay on a budget.
It's very reasonably priced, the rooms are spacious and clean and the complimentary breakfast was a great bonus.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Good location as well.
The only issue would be the outdoors could use a good clean and maybe a little renovation.
Staff were wonderful, very happy with big smiles and keeping the hotel spotless. Beds were super comfortable, breakfast was continental style but was filling and a great start to the day.
Staff are fantastic, spacious room comfy beds will stay again

Always a nice stay.
I’ve been here several times and happy to return.
On my last stay there was a small issue on checking in that was attended to very quickly and easily.
I’ll be back.
Location was great to everything needed locally. Great coffee shop across the road. Staff were incredibly friendly. Room and furniture were very dusty and unclean which set off hayfever for half of us. Shower tap handle came off when using.

As great as always
Bed is comfortable, room is quiet, breakfast is basic but enough and nice, plus it’s free! Owner is very nice. Enjoyed our stay as always
Clean basic room with everything you need for an overnight stay. Great inclusion of breakfast too. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great cafe across the road too!
We liked the room which was bright and spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful.
There was little noticeable room cleaning and beds were left unmade for all three nights. Breakfast is quite basic and fresh coffee costs extra.
Decor is quite olde-worlde.
But we were very comfortable there.
