Paul, Oct 2017
Pros (+) First impression was good but soon went tumberling down . We were given a double room on the ground floor, in fact it was up 2flights of stairs and at the rear of the building. We went in my god it was more a child's room than a double. So we went to get moved and had to pay an extra £25 for a bigger room. Caution there is no lift in the main hotel .
Cons (-) Overall it was a nice hotel but God the rooms need an upgrade to the 21 st Centry .
