Charming Stay

ground floor roomaccessible showerample parkingincinerated fish
The staff accommodated my coeliac needs and my wife's disabilities. We got a ground floor room. The room came equipped with a shower, helpful for my wife. The hotel provides ample parking.
The fish and chips at dinner disappointed. The fish was incinerated, and the portion was quite small.

the staff were friendly and helpful! i especially loved that they chopped up a melon we brought for us. i found the prices to be reasonable , which is always a plus. the hotel is close to a designer retail outlet , a great bonus for shopping!
the room felt quite dusty , a definite downside. the shower room seemed seriously outdated. i noticed brown stains on the sink and mould in the shower , not very appealing.
