Simple, clean and well-located stay

private access helpful staff comfortable bed

I had a room separate from the main pub. This gave me quiet and private access. The staff members were helpful. I found free on-site parking very convenient. The beds were comfortable and allowed for good sleep.

The room could use a chair. It would be useful.

Solid Stay Near Town

The family room was spacious, including a double bed and two single beds. A desk and chair offered a workspace, which i found helpful. The private entrance was convenient for coming and going at different hours, and the free parking on the surrounding roads was a bonus.

clean room friendly staff broken window bathroom noise

the room was clean. staff were friendly. i found the rail station easy to get to. regular customers were also helpful.

there was a broken window with a plywood temporary repair. the wifi did not reach my room. this is a known issue. there was a loud regular noise coming from the bathroom. it was possibly related to the toilet.
