Satisfactory

It was OK, clean and on a very hot day a fan running in the room which was excellent. It was showing signs of ageing and could do with a revamp. In a single room bed comfy curtains cheap, bathroom old. Evening meal in the bar satisfactory atmosphere and service bit poor. Breakfast was very good indeed and good service.

This was a business trip for cast & crew. All enjoyed the stay. Lovely rooms, excellent food with a good choice & good portions. Staff were extremely helpful & very friendly. Great location with parking at the rear. We had 24 on one night and the hotel managed beautifully. We would stay at this hotel again. Thankyou very much.

This hotel is beyond the point of being acceptable

The hotel is in desperate need of a full refurbishment which is likely to be substantial The staff are making the best of the situation but the hotel is beyond the point where rooms can legitimately sell to the public. Specifically, the room was dirty. The shower was virtually impossible to switch on and when it came on, it was simply a gush of water. Worst of all, the mattress had collapsed making sleeping a distant dream. One side was ~inches lower than the other meaning one was constantly rolling out the bed. This was acknowledged by the lady on reception as soon i mentioned there was a problem with the room "ah yes, the mattress...." As they had taken my payment upon booking, i had zero leverage. I will take up with Greene king

Good overnight stay

The receptionist was friendly on our arrival. Our room was up many, many flights of stairs. It was small with dated furniture but very clean which is the important thing. The floor in our bathroom was very sloped and that was funny when using the loo as you felt you might fall off! We had a drink in the bar and the staff there were friendly there too.

Friendly team. Cleanliness is very good. Some aspects of the room and bathroom are dated and showing some wear. Very comfortable bed. Dinner good whilst order was not well taken with starter not provided and no sauces offered with main course.

The room was large but very dated. The hotel had few people in the restaurant so not inviting. The bar was sparse, but the people that were in were very noisy. Also the wine was not very nice at all. The only positive was the one barmaid, who was very pleasant and helpful by offering our dog some water and a treat. We will not be returning.

Basic English inn.

This was a basic room at an inn. The floor was slanted and the toilet had 500 year old plumbing. The bed was comfy. The room was clean. Could walk to town and train station. Some of the staff were friendly. Others not so welcoming. Not a high level of customer service but a cheap place to sleep if you want to explore the surrounding countryside or take day trips by train.

We stayed in room 40, the curtains were paper thin and there was a light right outside our window, which was on all night. The bathroom was very dated and the shower was a nightmare for my husband to use as it was so low. It was just ok for me and I’m 5ft 2”. We stay there to go to a festival in Portsmouth. It is walkable to the station and transport was good. You have to enter through the back entrance after 11pm which we were not told about, this was a bit worrying when all the doors were closed and we didn’t know how to get in but got there in the end.
