The staff were fantastic. So welcoming and kind, nothing was too much trouble. The decor is a little worn, but all tasteful and clean. The bed was comfy, the shower was great and the breakfast was freahly cooked and delicious.

Check out the toilet picture.. absolute joke.

Not very clean, wee stain on toilet and bathroom needs a do over, most definitely the toilet as the seat was too small fo- see picture. Beds were company but creaky and likely old. Funny smell in hallways and like a maze to get to the room. Old style keys needs updating to electronic locks. Definitely didn’t seem worth anywhere near the £100+ per night we paid.

As expected

Hotel for price point was as good as I expected. The only thing I'd say is the towels I had although clean had some stains on them. I didn't see it as a massive issue but others might.

No hot water for two consecutive days. They have had a problem with their boilers since January and still have to refill every twenty to thirty minutes just to maintain any hot water. The restaurant is awful. The food is just gross.

Cheap and cheerful is the only way I can describe this. It was perfectly fine, nothing wrong just also not great. Staff were fantastic, but room is tired and bare bones, shower was weak and missing shampoo.

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.
