Room 4 - great decor and super comfortable bed. Huge tv too. Bathroom a little dated and needs a refit to be brought up to the standard of the bedroom.

The room and bathroom was spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed. Problem with the T.V,. reception so un able to watch it. Also problem with shower - either scalding hot or freezing cold, no middle area. Parking is easy, right outside hotel with no restrictions. In all, good value for money these days.

This is a lovely property and our room was clearly recently refurbished. (Beautifully). The only point to make is that there is no lift, so accessibility for the less mobile is difficult, but this is just something to know, not a criticism. It’s an old building so just one of those things. Everything else outweighs that.

Fantastic stop over

I think the Black Horse has had a complete redecorate as every thing was so new,modern and very clean Unfortunately due to circumstances there was no food but plenty of cafe, takeaways, restaurant walking distance Parking was right outside on the roadside and no problems The beer garden at the back of the pub looked magical We will stop again on the ferry journeys

The room was a good size. It was clean and had all the tea and coffee making facilities you would need. The only downside was the room was next to the outside space. You could hear people talking but luckily it stopped pretty early so didn't cause any problems

All good

I really liked this place, the room was fine and had everything needed. Parking was easy and free on the street outside and it was very convenient for the town centre. It was much quieter than expected as well with little road noise, or from the bar nearby. The staff I spoke to were both friendly. I can't comment on the food as I didn't eat there, but overall everything was as expected and I would happily stay again.

Never again

Hotel smelled a bit funky. No food being served (don’t know why). Tiny tv with bad reception. Window directly above area for smokers. Wouldn’t stay again. Nobody around in the morning to pay.

South west 300 stop off

We stayed as part of south west 300 it was a great stop off, very friendly staff. Felt very welcome. Room was nice and clean , had everything you needed, shower room had slight smell (damp?)but clean. Comfy bed , we had windows open as it was hot night, the only down fall was noise/ music from bar till about 12.30 . The room doors are very highly sprung (fire doors) they really bang shut , our very considerate neighbour decided that they would go back and forth to their room about 8 times between 11pm and 2 am .. but not the hotels fault just an inconsiderate prat.. overall great stay , Debbie was very helpful and good laugh.x.

We had a great experience. The rooms were nice, clean, quiet and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. When the staff found out we would be leaving before the included breakfast started they offered us a packed lunch to take with us and it was ready and waiting when we left at 7am the next morning. They went above and beyond!

My wife and I booked in for a one night stay using reviews from Expedia. It proved to be a disasterous experience. We will not trust reviews again. The hotel appeared clean an Bed not double, probably only three quarter size. Not suitable for two average size adults. My wife is a size 8 and I’m just pushing 10 stone. Stuffy room, no view. Staff smoke cigarettes outside the front door belowyour window and this odour pervades your room. I had to close window but makes room even more clostrophobic as there is no ventilation. , not even a fan. Broadband does not work, well not if you are upstairs in your room.l Cheap, but not cheerful. You get what you pay for I guess. Didn’t wait to try out breakfast. Left that night due to total discomfort. Our WORST experience of an overnight stay, EVER.
