I booked this place just for the bed. My room was extremely clean, although the property itself was quite run-down. It’s about a 30-minute walk from the station, which was inconvenient for me due to my schedule and travels. That said, for the price I paid, I’m grateful for my 3-night stay. I wasn’t expecting five-star facilities, so thank you.

The barman at the property has a serious attitude. We had ordered food and was waiting to be served when he stormed over to my husband who was vaping but didnt know he couldnt vape and said its a £75 fine for that and shouted him down. Not excuse me sir theres a no vaping policy which we would have accepted and not done this.Th receptionist was li ely a d tried to diffuse the matter. No o e shiuld be treated the way we were.

Bad management

No management to speak to until after our 2 day stay, staff evasive and unhelpful. Left email and phone details for them to contact me. They never did. Never been to a hotel where management is absent for 2 days and only coming in on the day you leave, sometime between 9 and 3 !! CBA lives here
