The location IS perfect for a short, flat walk to town. There is ample parking available. I also appreciated that the hotel is right next to a Tesco with a cafe (handy for grabbing a quick bite!).

The owner had personal issues, i know, but we weren't met when we arrived and i didn't like that. The room was ok, but tired and very dark unless you had the main light on. (i think they need to update the lighting fixtures!)

A Decent Stay Near Town

room cleanlinesswalking distancestaff absencefamily emergency

The room's cleanliness was really something. It was close to the hospital, why I needed to stay. I also took an evening stroll to Tesco and the town. It was all within walking distance!!!

The owner was not present because of a family emergency. That's understandable. The absence of any other staff did was great, though, in case something went wrong.
