It has seen better days. Shower only worked with a small red switch next to the bathroom which we had trouble finding, Water was either cold or scalding hot, Bed was too short for a 1.80 m Person + mattress old. Sheets were clean. Windows did not close.

More of a Budget Lodge than a Hotel

I was at the hotel mainly for the purpose of keeping my luggage while I traveled to Edinburgh and returned for my return trip out of the UK the following day. It is more of a lodge than a hotel with few rooms. The room is highly functional with almost everything you need provided within the small space. It is not a quiet place as the ground floor is divided between the restaurant and a noisy bar.

Tv in room did not work, shower was barely a dribble, no hairdryer in room, did ask about one but they said no, beds were terrible, broken springs, very thin, see through curtains which are no use in summer, too light to sleep. Nobody there when we checked out so had to leave key on a table. However, the room itself was clean, the fan was very welcome as room was so hot, the water was a nice touch, but would not recommend staying there
