Room was too warm even with heating off and window open. Shower took a minute to work properly. Cold water tap spluttered water for a while before it started to work. Bed was a little sunken in the middle.

Three friends staying after a day spent hiking - we had a lovely relaxed evening.

I love this friendly value for money hotel - the staff are very helpful and friendly, the food was excellent and we enjoyed the health suite. The room was also nice and spacious for the three of us (3 friends travelling) and the beds were really comfortable.
