What do you expect for £29

Arrived to be told my room had been cancelled due to payment being declined, however booking was made with 'pay on arrival'. Another room was able to be booked. Rooms basic but comfortable. Property appears run down and neglected, strange smell in proper.

Overall it was ok for what I needed as travelling for work but a bit disappointed in a slightly disjointed check-in process. Having spoken to and emailed the hotel, on arrival after travelling c.3hrs I was asked to provide all the information I had already given directly to them. Bedroom was comfortable and the shower was good.

This place was lovely, so quiet considering it's next to a high speed road. The tipple bar and the food truck is great, lovely garden area, lush in the sun. The only downside for me was the beds were really hard, I'd rather have a softer bed, due to back issues, but that's my preference so not removing a star or anything. The staff were friendly, said hi when we walked in, have a good day when we went out. Housekeeping came round while we were in the room one afternoon, told them we were fine and they asked if we were sure. Went out on the Saturday morning, was out all day, left my case and stuff on the bed unmade, when we got back they had made the bed and put the case and other bits back on it. Only thing I changed myself was the toilet roll was hanging the wrong way round haha. Well done guys and girls, you should be proud of yourselves and what you've made this hotel!!

Lovely staff but poor management/maintenance

Firstly, I can’t praise the girls on reception enough. They were friendly, sympathetic, helpful, and I really appreciated our chats. Unfortunately, on arrival, the shower head in my room flew off the wall, hit me in the face, and soaked the bathroom and my belongings. The water also had a strong ammonia or sewage smell. I wouldn’t have felt safe bathing in it, let alone drinking it. The brilliant receptionist on the evening of 09/07 moved me to a family room straight away and even offered to help carry my things. Sadly, this room also had plumbing issues. During a 33°C heatwave, only hot water came through the taps. A cold shower and drinking water after long, sweaty days wasn’t possible. When I asked for cold water to brush my teeth and stay hydrated, I was told I could buy bottles for £1 each, but it was cash only with no change available, so I was forced to buy five bottles with a note. Given the ongoing water issues, this felt unreasonable. Hotel clearly needs repair, with damp and smells throughout. Beds were comfortable and the cleaners did a great job. But access to safe running water is a basic necessity, not an optional extra. I appreciated the staff who did all they could, but I do feel management should have partially compensated & take these issues seriously and treat guests with more care. Thanks Alice + other girl- sorry forgot name! Without you my stay would have been reviewed much worse. Powers that be/bosses - you need to learn from their customer service!

Was not told you have to pay for parking also roo.s were very basic and tatty. Hallways leading to the rooms were more like a youth hostel. Stayed here before and thought it was ok then but this was worse and now with having to pay for parking and unfriendly staff means we wont be coming back again
