During my stay I sustained an injury breaking three ribs! The staff were most concerned and helped me throughout a painful ordeal. I would like to thank each and everyone from the General Manger down for the support provided. What a superb team. Thank you.

For what was effectively a room above a pub, what it lacked in finesse it more than made up for with the following: big fluffy white towels, hairdryer straighteners, big bed & coffee machine. Well stocked fridge, if required
