Room was extremely small, designed for a single bed only. i Pulled bed in front of door to get around it. Situated this side of gents shower. What a noise of water pipes. I think it’s a workers pub. The hotel itself for meals, drinks etc and staff is fantastic. Front of house would make you believe the rooms would be decent. Photos do not show a true picture.

All in all a pleasant stay. Beds were very comfortable and linen was fresh and clean. Great lounge and kitchen facilities/adequate for travelers. Cleanliness relates to state of doors and stairwell - to touch icky. Cannot fault the staff. Unfortunately both our fan and air con weren’t working. We were moved to a similar room with no issues at all. Other comments have noted noises but apart from some light highway noise (our room was on the front) we had a good night sleep. Staff were brilliant. Parking out the back. Arrived to late for dinner but seemed very popular.

We stayed for one night and can’t complain at all. Our room with en-suite was clean with crisp linen. Bathroom and shower is huge and spotless. The shared kitchen has everything you need. Food and drinks is available at the bistro area, very handy.
