What people say

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The fact that it's a Very quite hotel.And Available car parking.Friendly staff. Nice and clean good bar. golf. only the breakfast. The rooms are not nice - I could not close the bathroom door, no proper air/steam clearing system in the bathroom with the result that the room smelt damp and the bedcovers smelt horrible. Very elementary and very dated. I cannot imagine how this hotel has been classed as a two star... It certainly was not worth the money charged per night.
