This was a good place to stay! Spacious and comfortable. Just getting a bit dated with poor lighting and a lack of power points. Otherwise very good.

It was a great English style hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable. We ate dinner at the restaurant and found the food to be delicious.

Not a bad motel but very dated and tired. Whoever thought that smooth glassed tiles on the bathroom floor was a good idea had rocks in their head, once wet they are an ice rink. The experience was let down by the poor house keeping with most of the cutlery missing, one wine glass and one sherry glass both dirty and antes on the bench.

Cleanliness & staff service were good, bed was comfortable, shower was great. However, don’t drink the tap water, it’s genuinely foul. Use bottled water instead. Even boiling the water didn’t help.
