Although freshly painted the room could do with a revamp , bath chipped , windows catch broken , but for the price they charge it does reflect this , ask for a room at the front as they pump out sewage from the restaurant which was a bit unpleasant

The hotel perhaps needs a little TLC. The bed was fine, the shower worked. But....there was 1 bath towel between two people. The shower curtain was stained, and inner curtain is needed. The window blind was broken. We would not stay here again, and felt the room was overpriced for the condition. The booking form needs to be clearer with regards to dogs.

Needs Refurbishing.

The rooms are very big but very old and tired. The beds were very comfortably and the linen was clean and fresh. We only needed to sleep there for the night so all of the above didnt really affect us.

The room was dated but clean with very basic facilities. However, No mention before booking that the Hotel was having major renovation work, making most of the pictures on the website misleading, it’s a building site including the car park. Although Tea / Coffee in the room, no breakfast is offered and the nearest shop is a car ride away.

A very tired hotel that would benefit from redecoration. No breakfast option available. Nothing around within walking distance. However, the Turkish Restaurant (not part of the hotel) was well worth a visit.

Do NOT stay here!

Do NOT stay here! It was run down, dirty and got eaten so much from mosquitos or bed bugs! The bed was uncomfortable and rock hard. The stairs on the way up to reception were very unstable! Literally bendy!

The room was clean. Bathroom was dated but ok. Staff were friendly and lovely. The main issue is that the hotel does not have a bar or any catering facilities. No vending machines or similar. It looks like the place is on its last legs. The reception looks like a cab office! £75 a night is too much. I would class this as 2* max

Should offer a refund!!! AVOID THIS HOTEL

The worst hotel I have ever stayed in.. filthy dirty, run down.. owners/staff seem to find it funny to come in at 4am, talk and laugh loudly all around the hotel.. fly trap full of flies on the velux window from summers gone.. bathroom appauling, not a thread left on the carpet.. blood/bodily fluid splatter up the walls..this hotel should not be allowed to stay open.. I am shocked that Hotels.com have them on their books. They should be shut down permanently.

Terrible! Worst hotel ever!

This hotel was terrible, the furniture was worn out, holes in the carpet and stains in the wall. No shower or I should say no holder for shower part. A sticker on the velux window covered in 20 dead flys probably from summer! It was a nightmare . They don’t want to spend money on it just give it cheap and what a disgrace!

Avoid at all costs . Absolutely filthy. We had to clean up everywhere with wipes. Toilet flush was broken. Door didnt seem very secure when locked. All doors in hotlel banged and the residents let them bang when entering and leaving rooms. To get in at night you have to go around back of hotel a nd use a code to get in . Again door handle brokers so very hard to get in . What makes it worse . You have to go around the back with Absolutely no lightning and the paths uneven even have a little metal stake sticking out. Very dangerous. HONESTLY AVOID AT ALL COSTS
