Our Rooms
We have eight spacious rooms, including double, twin, and triple options. All our rooms are recently refurbished and well equipped with all the things and more that you would expect to make your stay comfortable.
Each room is en-suite and there’s a tray with tea, coffee, and biscuits, a minibar/fridge, flat screen TVs, a hairdryer, USB sockets, free Wifi, and complimentary premium toiletries. Prices from £100 per night (including breakfast) but will vary depending on season and day of the week. At weekends the minimum stay is normally two nights but at times we may have a one-night stay option, just call to ask. The best options and prices are accessed by booking directly or if you can't see what you need it’s always worth checking by phoning us (01904 639 387).
We have recently undertaken a major refurbishment. Many of the rooms were completely reconfigured and all rooms were redecorated, re-carpeted, new showers fitted and USB plug sockets installed throughout. All rooms are now connected to an internal air filtration system that delivers fresh filtered air throughout the building (a real added benefit in these COVID times).
We do not accept party groups (e.g Stag/Hens) and reserve the right to add a cash damage deposit of up to £120 per room to be returned on departure.
Please note we do not have an elevator and have no rooms on the Ground floor

You can relax and chat about today's events, watch the big-screen TV (with BT Sport for the big matches), read a book or newspaper or simply meet with friends. We also have a fully licensed honesty bar and wine fridge so you can choose a drink to take in the lounge or in your room.
