Staff very helpful. Room was very clean. Plenty of carpark space. Restaurant and bar onsite. Morrisons only about 150 yards away. Only issue I had was the shower was leaking and hitting the glass panel which the water going on the floor. It's only a minor thing. Overall a good sleep.

Stayed there with work and found the rooms to be bright and spacious and the staff very friendly. From what I could see the location was less than 5 mins drive to amenities. Ate in the restaurant their had the locally sourced haddock which was really good. I felt the bed wasn't that comfortable but was only staying 1 night so not that big a deal.

Lovely hotel, plenty food for evening meals, bit of a let down, they don't do breakfast. Very Disappointed with the only accessible wet room. There was a shower tray in the corner where the shower was and a shower seat that slid about. An accident waiting to happen if a disabled guest tried to access this on their own. Same goes for dinner, the ramp into the dining area is too steep and only the width of one door, leaving no room for wheelchair error as we found out. Luckily two dining guests came to our aid when my wife's wheelchair went over the edge, stopping her from falling 12 inches.

My family and I stayed here for one night as we had to attend a funeral the next day. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the rooms were clean and well equipped, meals were generous and tasty. I Would highly recommend.
