“Mixed Bag”

Reviewed 2 March 2013

Agree with SydneySarah055. Certainly not 4star and bathroom very small, especially the shower cubicle. Staff very helpful and free wifi but not operational over the 2 days we were there. Would find somewhere different next time.

Our room towards the rear of the property was quite old, but clean & comfy. The bathroom is very small & the shower cubicle would be quite tricky for larger people. The bed was very comfortable & breakfast excellent, Staff at check in & check out were very friendly.

During our renovation, we are making sure all the rooms we sell are clean and comfy, all the rooms will still have free high... More
