Okay for a night

Without sugar coating it, it was a filthy room, staff were great, food was nice, but the room looked nothing like the pictures online! Mouldy bathroom, and i was above the woman's toilets so i constantly heard the hand dryer going up until midnight.

A lovely stay

I needed a room overnight while attending an event nearby, and this hotel popped up. The hotel consists of rooms above a pub. While not ultra-modern, the place was clean and welcoming. Check in was seamless, and I was walked to my room. The room itself was spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, towels fluffy and the shower was warm. I skipped breakfast, I had somewhere I needed to be, but it looked and smelled good, much better than other hotels I've stayed at lately. I would absolutely recommend staying for a night or two, but not sure how I'd fare over a longer stay.

Lois

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Poor

The room I was allocated was sub standard. The bathroom was an old avocado suite style with rusty plugs and was damp. Lack of plug sockets close to a mirror made it hard to get ready in the morning. Very thin walls - I could hear my neighbours every move. Ridiculously hot as well despite the window being open and fan going. Very disappointing.

BSB Rest Zone.

We use the Hotel for BSB (British Super Bike) 15mins if Traffic is kind. Staff are 5* Food and service 5* The Salmon and I had the Bacon 🍔 WOW!! Reasonably priced. Bedroom adequate for our needs. Just a wee nit pick. Room 10. The Shower needed to be held as just needed a wee tighten up. Lovely Continental Breakfast. Keep up the good work. We are back in September. The bar is bouncing Saturday Evening. As noise doesn't bother us. Not a problem.

Andrew

Very disappointing. Little sleep.

Room was very small. Just wide enough for the double bed. Not enough room for a real door on the bathroom, just a sliding panel with no handle. Pillow had a plastic liner of some sort, so i awoke at 4am with damp hair and didnt go back to sleep. At 6am wafts if smoke started to come in the room from people smoking outside. Shower good. Breakfast good. Car parking spaces not wide enough for my car.

I cancelled the booking on Thursday. Apparently they still intend to charge me full price despite me giving nearly 3 days notice let alone 24 hours. I wouldn’t use them again ever. And I have used them many times before.

Not a bad hotel, just a very tired room. The room was above the beer garden so if I opened the window smoke came in and pointless loud talking from an old fella.
