Below average Great for staying for just one night if you don’t have any other options, however if you plan for multiple days yo may want to reconsidered. Very bare bones

This property is terrible for noise at night and basically you can’t sleep!
The bedding is not so clean and mattress is soft you can’t sleep feel the spring!
Not good experience at all!

The place is more like a backpackers inn. The room has no TV and the toilet/showers are shared.

For the price,I was surprised at the room.offered: old,tired small. Grateful it was close to our bus stop as we were not driving. No glasses in room. Pub downstairs great food and service. Would not recommend this accommodation if stairs are a problem- long flight up.

The location was great. The hotel downstairs was lovely and the meal was excellent. But our accommodation was very basic with hardly enough room for our luggage. The door handle was loose and some effort was required to unlock it. The ensuite was tiny. There were no other amenities in the room. A small kitchen was provided at the other end of the corridor. There was no kettle so water for tea and coffee had to be heated in the microwave. There was a small table and a couple of chairs in the kitchen. Parking was either behind the hotel, if there was room or on the street.

The internet was not strong or fast, and the photos of the rooms are not current, the property is convenient in its location but the condition of the rooms and hotel is very run down.

Do not stay here! This is terrible lodging accommodation above a pub! It's very outdated old and does not feel clean. Had a ensuite room and for the money I paid was very disappointing. When it said oh this is a pub the music isn't loud yiu won't here it. I could hear the music if it was in my room after midnight the music finally turned off!
This should be advertised that this is a noisy pub!

It was a fine place to spend the night. It smelled like smoke and there were loud noises at night- I think there was a drunk person stumbling around. Bathrooms are shared. The facility itself is a bit older and outdated.
