Was put in the guesthouse next door by the landlady i assume she owned both .Off road parking was a big help .I got 3 nights for a total of £58.15 with on-suite which was cheap so you do not expect much. Bath room shower had mould carpets in room looked marked and smelly headboard covered in greasy hair marks bedding was cleaner. Window had 3 holes and a big crack possibly pellet gun hot tap on sink did not work. No remote for the tv but plug was dangling half up the wall.Landlady was friendly but room needed full refurb and refurnish

Massive error: I booked there quickly without checking the reviews first, and found myself in the must disgusting place ever... The young lad that gave me the keys was ok, but the room smell the cigarettes which gave me headaches and the mould on the shower + dirty carpet + the window that's could not close + doggy smell in the entrance..... I mean it's just a zero star hotel, let's be honest! I just could not cope so I run away the next day and only did 1 night over the 5 nights I've paid in total. So I lost my money, but not my sanity that I would have lost if I had stay there!!!

Bit disappointed to be honest

The room bore no resemblance to the pictures on the booking site. It was clean but in a poor state of repair. One of the photos is of a pool table, which does not exist at the hotel. Other rooms in the hotel looked better to be fair. I experienced a friendly welcome on arrival.

Really bad. Won’t be staying here again

Staff were friendly but beds hard as anything, couldn’t have food or drink in the place and there’s no bar when they said we have to purchase stuff in the bar. Hardly any plug sockets. Shower broken. We had no towels. Noise in the morning and forced to check out at 11am leaving us with nowhere to go for the day.
