    If you’re wanting some quietness maybe stay elsewhere as they have a pub just below where karaoke is so it can be very loud.

    Good location, friendly staff!

    The actual bedroom and double bed were rather cramped with a single bed squeezed in as well. More hooks for clothes and towels would have been helpful.

    Good location for us for a family party. The room had a large en-suite and a small fridge. There were no staffed catering facilities, but a reasonably provisioned kitchen for guest use. The accommodation was upstairs from the pub, but noise was not a problem because the rooms are not directly above the pub.

    I didn't mind but it is part of a pub that does karaoke and weddings etc, so there's music playing to 1am . So if you're looking for a quiet Saturday night in a hotel room.. then probably not for you. This isn't a complaint or anything.

    Nice wee hotel, very close to train station and not fair from town centre.

    The shower wasn't the greatest but it served the purpose. The rooms maybe lack a bit of character, very basic with not comfort , cozy feeling to them but again served the purpose.

    The girl who booked us in was lovely, very warm and friendly and great customer service skills, the room was basic but clean and functional, the location was great, the self service breakfast room was a great unexpected touch. We would definitely stay again.

    Lack of a full breakfast and it being provided on a fully “serve yourself” basis, with the main options being cereal and toast. Needs more power sockets in the rooms for charging phones and other devices.

    The location was handy for the town centre but not actually in the centre, there was a good sized car park, the bar was lively on Saturday but not too lively , and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Wouldn’t really recommend for a family on a Saturday night. Music blasting til 2am was not great. Not blaming the hotel at all as I should have asked the question before booking. Just bare this in mind if you book a stay.

    Facilities were good, more than you might need for a one or two night stay. Breakfast was supplied but there was no milk for cereals. Room was spotless and spacious, beds comfy. Location good.

    Couldn't open windows as the room was above beer garden so filled with smoke everytime a punter from the bar went outside, had to listen to drunk talk, no respect from punters in the bar that people maybe in rooms trying sleep. Broken until midnight meaning may as well give up trying to sleep until then. 1. No fan in room 2. No condiments or kettle 3. No extra bedding and apparently none available when asked. 4. Single plug socket on a 'quadruaple' room 5. Facilities provided similar to a shared 'youth gostel' approach. 6. Wallpaper falling off ceiling. 7. Ebay quality thin sprung mattress. 8. Holes in wall. 9. Tiny shower cubical, not the easiest to.use 10. Early wakes up from.5am.when traffick 'thunders' down main road. Charged £105.00 per night, better quality and value at a local hostel. Absolutely not value for money and no where near any expectation you would have for a room at that cost per night. 3 star hotels are cheaper!!

    Self catering facilities available and fridge in room, although pointless aa nothing else provided

    Nothing. Amenities were basic, don't get me wrong. But incredibly clean and exactly what I wanted. If ur wanting a luxury night away, pay the money to go somewhere fancy. If u need a lovely basic but clean place, with a bed, ensuite, telly and a wee fridge to use. Place was perfect. Cannot recommend for a central location or staff enough x

    Staff were just wonderful. So were the locals. Made u feel like a home from home. Big thank u to nicola for showing me around the place and where I could get, tea, coffee toast etc. Down to earth, great hospitality.

    Shower broke. Stuck on full heat meaning it was impossible to use. No staff around when It happened so I couldn't get it repaired. The bar is busy and there were people singing in it until late at night. This meant that it was very noisy in my room and I struggled to get any sleep.

    Staff were super friendly and helpful. The location is great and the facilities are good. The room was small but I knew this when I booked so no complaints. The kitchen facilities are great. It's near the town centre.

    We weren't informed beforehand that this hotel is used by the council to house homeless and others with needs. The security lock going into the accommodation area didn't work, the room door never even had an anti-bump lock, no bedroom door and the room didn't even smell fresh and was in poor condition with missing ripped wallpaper along with a mattress that actually had a slope on it. To be fair the bathroom was nice as it looked like it had been recently done. There was no tea or coffee available in the room although it was advertised and our stay also included breakfast which there was no mention of. It should have been 2 nights but we left as soon as we could in the morning, the worst night we'd ever had in a hotel.

    The staff were friendly and helpful and the bar lounge area was tidy and well finished.
