Friendly welcome, comfortable room, and good breakfast. Dinner is a 29 minute walk away, but with a 20% discount, well worth the effort.

I enjoyed my stay there … the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant (for breakfast) were brilliant; breakfast was excellent … topped by the hotel being a five minute walk to the Beacon Parkrun start/finish spot! Brilliant.

Amazing staff
The staff at this hotel are amazing. Nothing was too much trouble. They really make the place. The fabric of the building is getting a little tired. Housekeeping of the rooms is not done daily which I was ok with but it meant the tea tray was not refilled regularly nor the cups changed.

The staff were very friendly the decor is abit dated, carpets could do with a change and a fresh lick of paint will help enhance the property.
Breakfast was great.
