"Property is within a private road, with very limited access to visitors. There are a couple of visitors' parking spaces, but those were occupied when I arrived, so I had to park in the nearby public car park. This was free after 6pm, but I had to leave before 9am the next morning to avoid being charged for parking. Other than that, my stay was fine - room was clean and comfortable, and shared bathroom was not an issue, as I think I was the only guest that night."
"The place is very tired and a great deal of refurbishment is required - rotten window frames, paint in poor condition. Parking is limited. The hotel is noisy as is the area.
The room wasn't serviced in the 2 days I was there.
I wouldn't go back and would rather pay a little more elsewhere."
