Great hotel, a little run down, but clean and friendly and helpful (but over worked) staff. Excellent breakfast! Parking is free, but crowded.

Decent hotel, just a short walk from the main town center. Close to local bike routes too.
The room was okay, and was clean, but the bed mattress was a little old, and sunken.

Stayed with a colleague whilst working in the area.Dont be put off by the reviews.Rooms are a little dated but if your looking for a decent double bed , clean bathroom with powerful hot shower, smart tv , you can’t go far wrong staying here.I work up and down the country and have stayed in far worse hotels for a lot more money.Walking distance into town too.

Luckily only booked for one night as I was passing through, as others have mentioned the hotel is in dire need of renovation, and could do with better cleaning

It was a very tired hotel with the bare essentials , no plugs near the bed and sadly we had some noisy neighbours that came in at god knows what time…. Breakfast was self service which was fine … but no staff about….on the plus there was plenty of hot water 👍

It’s a great place if you need a stop over towards north. I didn’t expect luxury for that price but it has all what it needs to get a rest. Nice bed, got a good nights sleep and shower and carried on early the next day so I cannot say much about the breakfast.

This hotel was perfectly placed, and very comfortable for a family stay. Staff were fantastic, in particular Shanice who checked us in and answered all our questions about our short visit to the city, and was very friendly. Very comfortable sleep and a good breakfast the following day. We would definitely stay again, very well priced and overall a very positive stay.

Don’t be put off by the exterior. Staff very friendly. Room freshly decorated and very clean only let down by a poor mattress.

No management to speak to until after our 2 day stay, staff evasive and unhelpful.
Left email and phone details for them to contact me. They never did.
Never been to a hotel where management is absent for 2 days and only coming in on the day you leave, sometime between 9 and 3 !!

The only reason to choose it is because it's cheap, but all we wanted was a bed for the night to break the journey from north of Scotland to South coast. Arrived at 9pm, left at 8:30am, straight after basic but perfectly adequate cooked breakfast.
Run down appearance, looks like it was the equivalent of a Travelodge that was decommissioned but still operating as a hotel. The morning receptionist was friendly and helpful. Parking free. Not somewhere to stay with children or as a treat in anyway, but if you just want very cheap accommodation to break a journey, it was fine.

It’s a good hotel location to get to Lake District, free large car park. Friendly greeting at reception on check-in. Should also mention handy EV charger (fast charger) for EV cars (which I used) just off main road. So not only can you recharge your battery but also the cars.
