After many years of staying at this hotel, what the website fails to tell you and did not know until after we had booked there is no restaurant or bar anymore for reasons that became obvious on arrival. Very disappointing and will not be using again

Former home office hotel

Former asylum seekers hotel, outsourced to the home office. I wish it all the best to get it back on it’s feet. I’m glad i brought my noise cancelling headphones (thin walls) and the bar & restaurant were closed. The shower was good, that was the only positive.

Friendly and helpful staff, the location was decent and the accomodation lovely. The food on offer was great. Only complaint was the thin walls, we could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room, and our baby woke the baby in the room next door durng the night...
