We had booked to stay for 2 nights, myself, my husband and our 2 boys aged 2 years and 2 months. Our room consisted of a double bed and a sofa bed. Neither of which appropriate for a 2 month old baby - a cot should have been provided. However, the room was that small, there wasn’t any room for a cot. The only place my 2 year old could play was under the pull out bed which is completely dangerous but he wasn’t left with much of a choice. The room itself was disgusting and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. The windows were covered in cobwebs on both the inside and the outside. The curtain had a brown stain on it, the ceiling was covered in damp that had been painted over and all the lampshades were stained. How do you expect anyone to stay in this room never mind 2 small children. The base of the double bed was ripped and falling apart and the pull out bed was cheap and you could feel the metal frame when laid on it. There was a floor lamp that stood on a tilt as it was broken and if knocked it would have just fallen over potentially landing on small children. The staff were very accommodating however and arranged a transfer to a different hotel.

No bad, not great, just middle of the road.

The room smelt awful, the loo roll was cheap single ply rubbish (the loo roll is often a reflection of the quality of the accommodation in my humble opinion). The breakfast was good, location good, car parking was plentiful. For what it cast it was OK, nothing special.

Room was not particuallry clean, towels were dirty. Tried to call reception (just out of shower) but it was after 9pm and no one would answer. Stains on the bedroom carpet. QR code on welcome letter didnt work. Hotel in desperate need of TLC. Would not choose to stay again.

First of all, the staff I encountered were excellent and my evening meal was great. The room was not so good. Only one power socket working, so no TV. No heating. Room and bathroom were tiny. Bathroom not as clean as it could be, signs of mould and the room smelled damp (possibly due to faulty air con?)
