Nice hotel, unfortunately by a busy main road. Food and staff are lovely however the windows in the rooms could do with being double glazed, it is quite loud when traffic is going past, especially on a hot day and the windows are open.

Good place to stay but needs a clean

The check-in was great on arrival with plenty of info from Courtney. The food in the pub was also good with no complaints. The room I stayed in needs a good deep clean both in the bedroom and bathroom. You could also hear every noise from people walking past your room with the floors creaking and doors shutting which made for a terrible nights sleep.

Great overnight stay for ferry with nice comfy bed

We were travelling to the ferry so stayed 1 night. The ferry took a few minutes to get to so an excellent location. You can walk to the town and Quay which was nice after a long drive. Evening meal was lovely, hot and inexpensive. The staff were all exceptionally helpful. The room was really clean and the bed very comfortable. Easy to park with plenty of spaces. Our room was on the front of the building so facing the main road. There is a 24/7 A&E a bit further down the road, the noise was ok once we closed the double glazing. There was some noise in the room from, I assume an extractor fan. That was the only downside. It was suitable for us for 1 or 2 nights.

The bedside light did not work, The mirror was in a non lit position. It might be advantageous to have a notice instructing which way to turn the red on the shower. Red to the top for hot water or red away from the top. The plug would not hold water in the washbasin. Otherwise the stay was good.

Not for me

Food was cooked well and was nice. The decor in the bedroom was modern and nice. The bathroom however wasnt good at all. The hot water tap that couldnt be turned on or off constantly running and has limescal marks so it has been like that for a long time. Shower was good but not clean and there was black mold all over the ceiling. The out of date soap in tubs were just hanging around as all the dispensers were broke. The bathroom bin was broken. The cups were stuck to the tea try with sugar milk. I wouldnt return here but there were also some positives and my negative points may not bother other people. Its definately not enviro friendly there were some radiators were the thermostat wasnt there anymore and was pumping heat out. There is an escape door at the back of the hotel were you could go out to smoke if you wanted but nothing to put used cigarettes in so they were on the floor. I struggled sleeping cos of a noisy neighbour but thats no reflection on the hotel

Bedroom was right near a busy road, windows had to be closed thus making the room hot and stuffy even with a fan. Bathroom was a little tired and the toilet didnt flush well plus shower base didnt flow away so flooded floor. Bed was missing a foot so we felt like our legs were higher than ourheads
