It was a quick overnight stay. The room had the basic necessities for what you need. Felt a bit dated and the bed was quite hard but overall it was okay and suited a one night stay.

Booked for 2 nights during Festival but upon arrival was allocated an upstairs room. Despite the property not being fully booked was told a ground floor room was not available. This was a problem for us as being elderly we found that climbing stairs difficult. Parking was behind the building and open to anyone passing, I found this not very secure. Restaurant was Closed.
