Lovely staff tired room.
Lovely warm staff, room looked a bit tired, splash marks on the walls, veneer peeling off bathroom units, chipped bath. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Slightly disappointed that the restuarant didn’t serve any Scottish dishes at all or have any cask ales (particularly as it is a Marston’s pub).

Don’t
Been a while since I’ve stayed here and it’s now looking tired , not sure what was going on with the staff but not on it.
Room smelt funny and the bed was not comfortable so uneasy night’s sleep.
Toilet wasn’t very clean and had to clean the bath out.
