All of these reviews are correct. I stayed here for one night, and it was basically fine. Towels were obviously clean (as in they had been washed) but were stained; bedding was clean. Some hairs in the shower etc …
The decor is in need of

Great value for money nice friendly environment
Good helpful team
Superb location
It was ok, parts of hotel are in need of renovation but basically clean. Room was small for 2 of us for 4 day stay. Breakfast was freshly cooked but a bit sparse for me as I’m gluten intolerant and they didn’t seem to understand what that meant. We didn’t eat in the hotel- feel that if they upped their game on the food it would help reviews.

We had read that the hotel was being refurbished by new owners, but felt that our room, whilst clean, was unfinished. There was no toilet roll holder; the en-suite door frame had been primed but not painted; areas around the window needed decorating; a strip of new coving was not properly fixed to the ceiling and there was a strange plastic tube with a tissue stuffed in the end running across the top of the window. Personally we also disliked the laminate flooring and the fact that the window (ground floor, street facing) had only vertical blinds and no curtains. All that being said, this room was at least 40% cheaper than anything else in the area for the one night that we wanted and clearly some work had been done as the en-suite looked new with quality tiling, and the ceiling looked new.
Are you in the mood for a depressing seaside hotel with black mold, electrical wires draped over furniture, filthy towels and public hair in the sink?
Well then - do I have the place for you!
Did I mention the front desk staff is oblivious to your suggestions to clean the room and make it habitable?
If all of the above is not what you are looking for then just search for hotels with more than one star.
Both hotel and room was not as advertised on website except for beer garden. Staff not friendly. Room was down a number of corridors and doors all of which were in poor repair. Room was not of a good standard and felt more like a hostel. I did not stay and booked alternative accommodation in the village as apart from the standard of whole hotel being poor, i did not feel safe as a female on my own
Toilet did not flush, this was reported but no the problem was not remedied. Other guest were noisy , exacerbated by banging from the fire door whenever anyone moved along the corridor. Rooms were not very clean.

Hotel was clean, spacious and quiet. In need of decoration. Owners say they have taken over hotel and are in process of redecoration.
Was quiet and peaceful.
Understanding the hotel is in a 400 year old building and not wanting to sound like an entitled American. The hot water didn’t work none not a drop, that being said the beds sucked felt like I was on a box spring. Now that said the staff was grate and the food was good the location is amazing. We did however have a grate view of the roof top with old broken ironing boards and an old painting that was crumbling in the rain. The place has issues and not at all worth the price we paid

Helpful staff, Great breakfast and comfortable room. Martin was very accomodating.
Arrived only to discover there was no parking even though it has parking on the app, chap was adamant that it said street parking ( as I said that’s why we picked this hotel ) so I did show him it does say parking
Very poor customer service, venue very tired and disjointed. No tv working in room and management not interested in this problem. No goodbye on check out, again awful customer service
