4/10 Fair

Bordering on terrible. Who writes the reviews - friends & family of the owners? Two stars rather than one as the room was a good size, the laundry facilities were great and the breakfast was nice. But basic in the extreme with no hands towels or tissues, loo that was difficult to flush and the killer: isalmost next to atraintrack and the noisy poo rt.

Annette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room and its fixtures were all brand new so while the building looks old with its ancient lift the rooms were very modern which was nice!! As a side note, The town is very sleepy so don’t expect much activity, hustle n bustle after 5 pm and Sundays most shops etc are closed.
