"Rooms are clean, very basic but have everything you need. Great location to the town centre. Check before booking that there are no events on in the pub. The room walls are very thin and you can hear the entire event going on."
"The room as interconnecting entrances that are tiled and loud and the fire proof doors are really loud. We had a party group in the connecting room who stayed up till 3am and woke us multiple times. The space isn’t well thought out.
The bed had a body hole deep in the mattress on both sides that was extremely uncomfortable. It’s time to upgrade the mattresses!
The pillows were awful and when we reached in for the spare pillow it was pre used with someone’s makeup face still on it.
