Excellent position in centre of town with free parking. Good size room and friendly staff. Sunday Roast meal was very good despite us arriving near end of serving time. Breakfast adequate and enjoyed. Only problem was the lumpy pillows which were uncomfortable and so didn’t sleep very well.

Best low cost place I have stayed. Boarding on luxury. Well maintained room lots of space for all parts desk,bed ,shower, vanity and toilet. Light and bright hallways and stairs. Quiet, nice size tv (noisy bathroom fan) would be my only complaint. Also great old feel to the reception area and comfortable lounge area. Great breakfast with lots of options. And all at a good price. Walking distance bro other shops and places to eat. Would definitely recommend
