Too hot! And we visited in November so couldn’t imagine how unbearable it would be in the summer. And bath if your bigger than a size 14 you won’t fit and no way a man would fit and showers no power so may as well of had a kid stand over me with a watering can. Rooms need updating.

I wasn’t worried with the lack of air conditioning in a cool October, however I was mistaken, the rooms are unbearably hot even in autumn. The l hotel is in serious need of a refurbished and everything’s just a bit dirty.

Clean room & friendly staff but room comfort poor

Clean room but no air con & provided fan didn’t work. Had to have windows open as room very warm which meant there was a lot of road noise. Fridge didn’t work so provided fresh milk had gone off.
