So , we arrived and got the keys to our room , we opened the door and what can only be described as really run down springs to mind but we just wanted to sleep after our long drive . The bed was really uncomfortable we could feel every spring . At around 530 am we were woken after trying to sleep in an uncomfortable bed by people coming down the stairs, laughing and joking about . Early morning we had water marks appearing on the walls, breakfast was ok but nothing to shout about . We then we to reception and showed the lady behind the desk pictures of the wall paper and how we were woken up at the early hours of the morning. She was really apologetic and said that we would be moved if wanted into another room. The new bedroom was a lot nicer the bed definitely more comfortable, Overall the hotel need a lot of work spending on it really old looking inside looks like an old people’s home is probably the only way I could describe it. We will definitely not be using it again in the future.

It would have been great to have been told that the bar, restaurant and the whole village is basically closed during this week in January. In addition the room was freezing cold despite the best efforts of two wall mounted electric heaters. No breakfast available
