Nice hotel, small but clean room. No bath just shower which we didn’t mind but only had soap so if staying longer would need to bring own toiletries. Staff are nice & friendly and great customer service. Nice pub down stairs with live music at weekend & TV for sports. Close to public transport (bus & train). Free Wi-Fi.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the years, but it has gone downhill badly. There’s clearly been no upkeep or care put into the place. On my recent stay, one of the two rooms was tiny, not properly cleaned, the mattress was in poor condition, and the shower only ran cold. Really disappointing considering how good it used to be.

Tracey

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The bed was absolutely awful! Collapsed mattress and a collapsed bed base where two pieces of wood had been loosely thrown underneath for a makeshift support! It was SO uncomfortable. The bathroom was clean and refurbished but not even any soap provided. We had to run across to the Lidl supermarket for shower gel. Water was lukewarm and shower head dreadful. Not a very pleasant experience at all, and definitely not worth the £140 room only charge!

The mattress on the bed was terrible for me (felt like a really old sprung mattress, with little support). No breakfast on weekdays, which is a pain. Otherwise the room and bathroom were fine. Didn't use the pub downstairs but looked fine.
