Run by YMCA to give youngsters a chance. The young people there were keen to help and make the stay a good one.

One night three room family stay, hotel staff were very polite, obliging and efficient. All room were clean, spacious and comfortable with many extras. Breakfast was hot and tasty with lots of food choice, only let down was no evening restaurant but lots of eating places within a 100 yards of the hotel and staff are happy to point you in the right direction.

A gem!! A wonderful hotel that is run by YMCA, rooms are spotlessly clean, have great facilities, fresh milk & refreshments in rooms. Love the upcycled & repurposed furniture. I can not praise the Manager Nat & her team enough. We stayed & then extended stay due to family illness, the kindness, compassion & above & beyond service experienced by the team was like having a friend holding your hand.
