hotel critic: harrison brown

Generally all rooms are to a very pleasant 2 star standard. Bed and breakfast hotel with nice breakfast rooms and good size lift (compared to others in area). On inspection there were some rooms showing small signs of wear and tear, but management ensures me they are attending to these. Bathrooms are reasonable sizes and most contain bathtubs (again, a rarity in this area due to room sizes and building constraints- but always best to request a bathtub if desired, just in case). Best value around £75 double inc English breakfast. Anything over this rate and you may be able to catch a 3 or 4 star special at another hotel for similar money. This will depend on time of year of course.

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF USING A CREDIT CARD TO PAY FINAL AMOUNT AT HOTEL, A 5% SURCHARGE WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR BILL. DEBIT CARDS ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS CHARGE
