Think twice!

So essentially this appears to be a fairly new hotel owner. There is signs of modernization such as freshly painted outside. There is a clear historic dining room and bar that is not currently in use. I booked this hotel only because it was good value for a twin room for me and my 11 year old Son as everything else locally was only doubles or out of budget. I know it was a hot day but the room heat was unbearable! There was a fan (that had to be propped up because the legs were broken) but it merely blew around hot air. There was a clean kettle, pots of milk, PG tips and cheap coffee satchets provided along with small bottles of shampoo (x4) and one small paper wrapped bar of soap with too clean towels. The wall mounted television was the smallest I have ever seen at literally probably 10”! The bed was clean and comfortable with a firm mattress. That was the main problem - the bed, singular as in one double bed not two singles as booked! I did ask at reception and although smiley he said he didn’t have any twins only doubles (I showed him my twin room booking confirmation but he said he had no other rooms he could offer). Check out was by 11am according to the sign above the key post by reception. Entry after 2300hrs was by code (given on check in) but when we checked out at 8am before reception opened we tried the out of hours access but couldn’t work out how to do it! This was a cheap room for the night but I couldn’t of done more than one day given the lack of twin beds!

We arrived at the hotel and said we where booked in and he looked and said no your not and asked for the booking reference. He told us we had been moved to another hotel down the road due to building work. He gave us the details and we found the room. The new room was fine but basic, clean and comfy. No coat hangers or towels and no one around to ask as the hotel was unmanned. Also no WiFi (if there was there was no-one around to ask for code). The stay was fine for a night.

Bed was extremley low which proved very difficult to get on and off it, especially as we are elderley and i have Parkinsons. The TV was not set up to work, unable to watch it at all. The shower fan is very noisy and only one door on wardrobe. and although there was space to hang garments, there were no hangers to do so There is paint on the carpet & headboard, obviously didnt move or cover these whilst painting. The room could benefit from a thorough upgrade as it is certainly not worth the £77 we paid for the night. Very dissapointed. There was no one at reception when we left so was unable to speak with anyone

The worst place I have ever stayed

This was the worst room I have ever stayed in!!! Not sure if it doubled as a probation hostel but there was an ominous atmosphere to the whole place! Holes looked liked they’d been punched into walls, paint work was dirty, one curtain over window that didn’t even fit properly and carpets felt and looked dirty!! Worst part was the state of the wall behind the pillows!! It was black with grime where there was no headboard!! See photo!! I wish I’d read reviews first. My wife was so upset and worried that we left within 10 minutes of arriving, having just travelled 5 hours in the car! Unless you’ve been to prison, this will be the worst place to spend a night!! Avoid at all cost!!

Better to sleep in the car

If you like broken doors, stains on walls, stains on the bed, damaged bathroom plugs, paper thin walls, a questionable lock and a rude (possibly handicapped) receptionist who chooses to pretend the above doesnt exist, then this is the place for you

It was very basic, unclean, scruffy and way too expensive. I WON'T BE STAYING THERE AGAIN. There were dirty carpets, holes in walls and doors that had been poorly filled. The shower was dirty and unusable. Not happy one bit. Very disappointed

The window didn’t open in the room and didn’t shut prior so there was a breeze. Which meant you could hear the noise in the morning and the toss took ages to work

If you are looking for a budget friendly place to stay this is definitely a good option. the beds were very comfortable, bedding and towels exceptionally clean. The room had a TV, kettle & tea & coffee. It was a very basic room but it suited our needs fine. The guy we checked in with was super friendly and seemed a lovely guy. If you plan on using the room as simply a place to sleep while you enjoy the surroundings this is a great recommendation. But if you enjoy things a bit more up market with plenty of luxury and attention to detail then is definitely give this place a miss... overhaul I was reasonably happy with my stay and would stay here again in the future.

I paid £50 for 2 nights for a single bed. At that price I wasn't expecting 5☆ treatment. I paid budget and got budget. My problems were *paper thin walls i had no sleep i could hear everything *bathroom sink had no plug, shower was falling apart *They allocated my room to someone else on the second night when i was still in it
