The hotel was isolated. It was very quiet at evening times so would not like to sit in the bar more or less by ourselves. No access to Sky Sports ( which Greene King is well known for) so we travelled to other venues. It is a lovely hotel and bar but only for those who like a really quiet time.

Rough looking place

It's a pity because the building is nice and has character, like the bar/dining area. The staff were nice and the food was good. But the bedroom... All 4 doors to access the bedrooms were dirty in the area where ppl push them open. Our door, which was hard ro open, looked like it had been prised open and no-one had bothered to repair it. The room looked nice at a first glance, but then I saw the walls were dirty, TV aerial cable was dangling from the wall socket, not plugged in to the TV, bathroom extractor fan didn't work, toilet seat was wrong size and a dirty hand soap dispenser on the wall was empty, but another one with soap in was lying on the side. See photos. Again, it's a pity because a bit of attention could make the place look if not good, at least minimum standards. I get the impression that someone managing the place has a no f12ks given attitude towards the place. I pay the same and less to stay in clean presentable hotels which also have children's breakfast included.

Rooms decorated nicely although a bit tired looking. Staff very friendly. Bathroom had not been cleaned properly, hair still in the shower and sink and an awful stain running down the side of the sink. Room was advertised as having a rainfall shower, I received a room with a tiny broken shower head that was leaking so badly there was no pressure, it was also far too low, I’m 6ft and I had to bend down to shower. You can also hear all the noise from the corridor as there are large gaps in the door.

Was a lovely hotel with lovely staff in a nice location, I do like the kings inn hotels but admittedly the bathroom wasn’t very clean nor modern and it did smell a little, but it was still good for the price we paid to stay there. The bed was comfortable and we had a sleep without any disturbances. Also breakfast was nice, and the bar maids were very nice and it was very calm and chilled to sit and have a drink in the evening.

Not quite a premier inn

Check out on the Hotels.com website says 12:00 noon check out but its 11:00 am, main carpets need cleaning and a little paint in the room wouldn't go a miss Toilet takes required to pump the flush. TV signal on and off. Would stay again even though a few minor points.also first time ever I've seen a insect trap in the room at the side of the Bed and I've travelled the world.

Bathroom in the bedroom was dirty, roof peeling black mold around shower. Picture frame in main bedroom broken and sharp edge. Staircase is missing a spindle which is surely against the law with risk of a child falling through. Banister outside broken and unsafe. All outside area dirty rubbish blowing around seating area at front of pub dirty tables & manus in pub area. The best thing about the pub is the manager who was on shift Saturday day / night.
