The Plough, no return

On arrival they couldn't find our reservation. When the lady finally found us, she rang what we can only assume was her husband to mention we had arrived. There was further confusion during the call and we heard the person on the other end of the phone asking "how much have they paid". On her response he said, put them in room 2. This was a family room, but we had booked the double deluxe bay view room. The room was comfortable enough, but quite an odd layout. Two entrances to the room, the longer way around entailed walking up a staircase with a very strong smell of damp. Then entering the room down some steep stairs, the room was in complete darkness and we struggled to find the light. The switch being a pull switch that is not near the entrance. The location is extremely quiet, not very much to do locally. An okay base for our visit.

Do not stay here!

The hotel was in total darkness and it was not until the next day you could see the state of the outside. The hotel posts pictures of years ago and frankly it’s fraud! We did not stop a second night and no recompense or reply to my email. The room is dreadful Pat tests out of date , mould in bathroom , dirty and dated . Curtains did not close and the bed was awful with primark pillows making it feel like you led on the pavement. Limited hot water and too much to mention ! It’s shabby and run by a Chinese couple that were so rude and have little English. Breakfast terrible and was left untouched. Do not stay in this hotel as you will not get what is advertised!!!
Getting to the room was terrible

An unusual stay with some quirks. I had Room 10 which whilst spacious is connected to the kitchen via door that is unused. However it does mean that I had noise at 2230 when someone was getting cutlery or plates ready for the morning. I banged on the door and they were quiet. More noise and lights came on at the glas panel on the kitchen door (covered with card) at 0200 which woke me up. Room had no cold water meaning hot shower was scalding but this was quickly sorted by the staff. Cooked breakfast was great and unexpected treat as I thought it was continental only. Handy location and great value, despite the noisy room. I would stay again but ask not to have Room 10.

Pay extra and stay elsewhere

The oddest check in experience I’ve ever had. Having messaged the property when I booked letting them know my arrival time I arrived to find an empty bar and no sign of anyone (other than a key on the desk with note from someone else saying they had left because the smell of smoke was so bad). When someone arrived a few minute after I rang the ball he preceeded to facetime someone (whilst repeatedly turning the camera to me in some sort of odd visual inspection) and through very broken English we managed to get me to a room about 25 minutes later. The room was comfy enough in fairness, but not clean. Hairs in the shower, dustballs on the floor and a dirty towel shoved under the fridge because it leaked. Wi-fi had a “one minute on / one minute off policy” which wasn’t overly helpful either. Safe to say I won’t be returning.

Awful Experience - DO NOT STAY HERE Had a message asking what time we would be arriving - no reply from property Upon arrival we were not made to feel very welcome, we felt like we were an inconvenience. We were Asked to fill in what we wanted for breakfast by ticking boxes, which was fine. Then were told no other food options available - Thank goodness Room very old and quaint. Lots of equipment filled the room and little to no space to move around in. Electrical cables trailing over the floor and a tripping hazard. Slept - not very well - mattress lumpy Breakfast - well ….. toast that never really saw the toaster and warm not hot. A single Sausage that never really saw the grill/frying pan and looked undercooked - obviously we didn’t eat it. Hash browns not cooked properly and cool. Bathroom ok but the Shower which my husband had was hot for him. He only had a very quick and short shower, approx 4 minutes spent there. When I went for my shower it was freezing cold. Towels so threadbare and rough and small and barely covered your body. We booked for two nights as we were seeing friends, but it was so bad we left after the first night and didn’t stay the second night. Nobody to complain to on returning our key. Definitely will not be returning. If you want a lovely place to stay and a warm welcome - BOOK ELSEWHERE
