Good Points: Smooth check in, was expected.
Bad Points: Told this was a 4* hotel; this WAS NOT 4* accomodation. Room was tiny, ceiling falling off, bathroom had paper hanging off the walls and the room was very hot. Thankfully a fan was supplied in the room. Considering I was told this was a 4* hotel I am marking it as such. For a B&B with a cheaper rack rate, my view would have been very different!
Further Comments: I would not stay here again; we paid ￂﾣ70 and was told only at breakfast time on Sunday morning there was no cooked breakfast, what sort of 4* hotel was this? I have stayed in all sorts of hotels but have NEVER paid this sort of money and not been able to have a cooked breakfast, this is completely ridiculous. Check out was a stupidly early 10am, again, I would have expected it to be around 11am, perhaps midday. We only needed a bed for the night, with the assumption of a cooked breakfast, for this money I could have stayed up the road at a very nice hotel with bigger room, breakfast and a later check out. For future reference, I will be doing. I believe my girl friend is also adding a note on trip advisor about it too.

Good Points: The hotel manager was great, very accommodationg and friendly.
Bad Points: Very difficult to turn the shower on and off. The knob was hard to work and your soappy hand would slide off it. Need a shelf in the bath to hold personal items.
Further Comments: We very much enjoyed our stay. This was a basic hotel with minimum services but a good value for the money.
