Room 2... What can we say, wardrobe shakes and shudders when you walk anywhere in the small room. Flush the toilet to your peril, it sounds like a locomotive is ploughing through the room. Dining room for both dinner and breakfast needs all table linen washed/soaked, very badly stained. The owners John and Dorcas have been there 43 years and... More

It was not a pleasant experience staying in this hotel. The room was simply unbearably cold. It was physically uncomfortable even when the central heating came on – twice a day for a couple of hours first thing in the morning and from 4:30 till 10:30pm. We complained that the room was too cold only to be given silly excuses... More
