Our room was pretty clean, the hotel is next to the train station which is really nice, when we got to our room the first night we had realized that the bed was broken, we had an awful first night. but the next day we had talked to the front desk and they sent a handyman to repair it. the bed are extremely hard.

No restaurant open on arrival at 7pm in hotel for evening meal but Bistro next door is attached. Food was good and hot! Breakfast was buffet with good plentiful selection of cooked, cereal, juices, etc. Beds very comfortable, quiet room, super shower. Car park was cincession £6 per night, difficult to get out safely due to exit being on a steep bend. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

The door to room 35 was dirty with a sign on the door saying ‘Mind the step’ only to find three steps going down into the room. The curtains had what appeared to be blood smears on them. The shower mat/towel looked like it had human excrement on it despite it being neatly folded. Also not happy having to pay car parking fees in the hotel car park. Won’t be using this hotel again.☹️

The hotel needs a lot of work to it as it looks old and run down .For how much you pay i would expect alot better.And having to pay to park your car on the hotel property that's not right .

Fine for a budget stay

Basic room with my partner and my dog. There was drilling taking place early each morning and then moving furniture from another room. Both of which disturbed my dog. The room was cost effective and fine for what we paid for

The hotel looks magnificent from outside but inside is quite shabby. Rails in the shower rusty and some taped over, a bit old and worn-out, corridors smell of chlorine, bathroom doors don't close without a strong lift and push. On the plus side, it was clean, our twin room was quite spacious, and since we spent most of our time outside, the shabbiness didn't matter that much.

The whole place is desperate for renewing

If you’re just looking for a bed and a shower, it’s fine. We stayed in the outbuilding and we found stains over the carpet; dirty floors, bathroom, walls and doors; curtains full of holes; outdated furniture, and the whole building full of damp. The staff were not knowledgeable at all. Everything was quite laughable.

Property is very dated. Needs a lot of decorating and upkeep. Rooms are very warm with limited options to open the window. Check in only starts at 3pm, even if your room might be ready, so long queue. Check out is 10am, so very early. No where secure to leave luggage, you leave it in a seating area used by the public. Certain staff could do with some customer service training and smile and be more friendly. Have to pay for parking at £6 a day, even if you stay at the hotel. Very close to the station and supermarket. Down the road from some local.pubs and nice eateries.
