"Had booked a room with balcony all i can say is don't waste your money it was absolutely filthy like it had never been brushed or mopped in years covered with cobwebs and what looked like wasp nests the railings were rusty too and could be doing with a lick of paint! Room was clean enough and lovely big toilet. Plenty free parking. Would i stay again, probably not which is a shame as we had stayed previously and liked the area."
