I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were quite standard but offered good value for the price, especially considering the cleanliness and excellent service from the staff. However, I found the walls to be thin, which could be a downside for light sleepers. The food was quite decent and breakfast was a highlight, but the atmosphere in the bar area left much to be desired; it felt a bit worn and lacked character.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the breakfast was absolutely delightful with generous portions. On the downside, my room had a bit of a musty smell, and it wasn't the most comfortable for my asthma. Overall, though, I would definitely return for the great atmosphere in the pub and the helpfulness of the staff.

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing overall. The rooms felt outdated, and while they were spacious and very clean, the overall ambiance didn’t match my expectations. The service was uneven; while some staff were friendly, others were less so, which affected my stay. The dining experience was a letdown with poorly cooked meals. Though the hotel had a decent pub, I wouldn’t rush back.
