The room was spacious and clean. It had everything I needed. The refreshments tray was a nice addition. The staff were helpful.
The hotel is on the main road. It can be noisy because of pub goers and the bus stop, especially on Saturday night. Kitchens were closed so no food was available at the hotel.
