The breakfast was lovely and the staff were helpful at check-in. The walls were a bit thin, so you could hear people next door or in the hallway and the room and bathroom were very small/cramped. The wooden spoons for the tea and coffee were not very useful.

There was not much available for vegan/vegetarians at breakfast. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever seen at a hotel. If you sat on the toilet you had to make sure the window ( a porthole ! ) was shut, otherwise you would hit the window whilst standing up. The bathroom was that small you had to come out and dry off in the bedroom. There is no air-conditioning in the room, and as it was warm we had to have the window ajar. BUT, the noise from the local estate was really bad until the early hours of the morning. And two or three times during the early hours we were woken up by motorbikes. The car park is fenced off, but you always had a bad feeling that when you went to the car the next day something might of happened to it. Luckily it didn't. Staff were friendly enough. Hotel clean throughout. But one big bugbear for us is that there is never anywhere to hang coats, especially if wet.

Lunch & dinner - poor food offering. Everything frozen. Not much knowledge from staff about allergies. No real atmosphere in the common areas. Breakfast a bit better but only scrambled eggs offered and everything was cleared away at 10am! My TV didn’t work for entire visit.
