Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently highlight the spacious and spotless rooms at Station Hotel, enjoying the powerful showers. The hotel provides plenty of on-site parking and is conveniently located within a 10-15 minute walk from the town centre. Many appreciate the cooked-to-order breakfast, especially the poached eggs, and the real ale available on hand pump in the bar; however, some guests have found the decor a little old-fashioned. The hotel offers good value for money in a quiet area.
