Reasonable Stay Near the City Centre

convenient locationfriendly staffunclean bathroombroken shower
I found the location advantageous. It was close to town amenities. The courtyard outside my room was very nice, a place I could enjoy playing games. The staff was friendly enough when I needed assistance. They helped with parking my car.
The bathroom required some additional cleaning. I saw skidmarks in the toilet. The shower was somewhat broken. Adjusting the shower head made the whole thing come apart. I liked the place in general. Better attention to detail could improve it greatly.

Wonderful stay in former stables

beautiful buildingnear parkinguseful gardencomfortable bed
The building have beautiful rooms around a courtyard. This courtyard was once the former stables. Parking so near the centre proves a bonus. A grassed garden exist for the dog at the back, this is very useful. The bed was comfortable. Towels and bedding were clean.
The TV was small and awkwardly placed for viewing. I find this a slight problem.

convenient locationceiling cobwebssmall car park
The location served its purpose as it was close to where I needed to be.
The room was not clean I saw cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The parking situation was also difficult because the car park was very small. Breakfast service was slow there was a shortage of basic items.

The Stable Court room had easy access to parking. I found a nice pub attached to the hotel. I thought the location was in a great area near the town center.
My room needed some care because the exterior was uncared for and the plants in pots looked to be dying. The bedside lamps were dusty and one bedside table was broken. I noticed the walls seemed very thin.
