“Great location with lovely staff and fabulous breakfast”
Rooms are basic and old fashioned but clean and effort made with them like nicely folded towels , bar is very much rough and ready but barman welcoming and friendly location is great in the centre of town and breakfast was worthy of the 4 star hotel across the road .Big thank you to the staff .

“Great people, Great Value, Great Food”
Its great. Its a bit of a boozer but the locals were all nice, well behaved and welcoming. The young lad who checked me in 'Neith' (?) may have got that wrong was personable and charming. The rooms are a bit basic but clean with bottled water and tea making facilities and a desk. Fine. Breakfast was fab. Cooked to order and of great quality. Forget those corporate coffins, Premier-Holiday-Whetherspoon-Inns. There are small independents out there who offer something interesting and work hard for your business. Utterly Great.

“In desperate need of referbishment and a deep clean”
The staff were friendly helpful and welcoming. The location was great it is right on the high street, so very easy access to all the amenities. However you have to accept that with a central location does come some noise from the street. The breakfast was good, I cant comment on the restaurant as it was not open during our stay, but there were plenty of other alternative in walking distance.
