I found the hotel good but agree with past reviews it does need money investing in it. Our room was massive with 4 poster bed and balcony. We ate in the restaurant and the fish and chips were top notch. But best of all was the service received from Jim the man who’s seems to run the hotel all on his own. He made us feel like we were staying in a 5 star hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was spacious and comfortable but a bit outdated. The room had an enormous window and the blind, when pulled down was ill fitting so the light woke us up at 5am. The TV didn't work which was disappointing. The hotel was generally dusty and needed some TLC. However, dinner and breakfast was very good and the staff friendly. and helpful.

An old building that has been neglected and needs big sums spending on it to bring it up to an acceptable standard. Wallpaper peeling from the walls in both the bedroom and bathroom. Just generally neglected. Breakfast was ok

Gaila

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place looked great online, but disappointed in every area. It has potential but is very outdated and tired. Wifi & TV didn't work, bathroom had a "spongy" floor, breakfast was mediocre. And there was pretty much zero happening in the town- not this fault of course- we stayed there because we did some tours in area. Pros: it had free parking and the owners/managers were very nice and accommodating. But sadly, that didn't make up for the price we payed and the overall experience.

Good option for 1/2 nights

Pros of this hotel- great location a short walk from the rail station in the town centre, really friendly staff (covering multiple roles as out of season) great breakfast offering hot and cold Cons- building is old and needs tlc, atmospheric but bathroom needed an upgrade. Tv aerial not working (not a big deal) no hot water on first night. Decent option for a night or two
