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the outbuilding and we found stains over the carpet; dirty floors, bathroom, walls and doors; curtains full of holes; outdated furniture, and the whole building full of damp.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.

We paid £65 for a cosy room and for the price it is okay but wouldn't want to pay anymore. Walls and doors are thin so can hear every door slam and people talking. Shower wouldn't drain. Other than that is a good place for a one night stay and easy access to outside

Nice location, large showers, and bed was comfortable. But the light switch next to the bedside didnt work, and there were screws coming out. Towel radiator didnt work to dry my towels. Staff weren't welcoming, and poor communication between hotel and restaurant, because they didn't know I had booked.
