Horrific experience. Loud extractor fan, going 24/7. Smell of fried food cooked in year old fat. Block off window in room by single wooden board and pigeons sit on the other side making noise. Eastern block check point to enter rooms (go through an office door to get in watch by reception and leave rooms via hotel style doors). No signed to get to website advertised café bar. Dust on the walls Questionable bedsit bed with marks Bathroom titled by someone learning to tile and fixtures worn out. People opening exit doors on metal fire stairs making lots of noise. Loose floorboards. Noisy antisocial guests.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room could do wish a refresh, but for the price, it was acceptable. The bed was comfortable, but the bedroom door was very heavy to open, and I couldn't understand why the main bedroom light switch was on the wall behind the door, which when first entering the room you can't see because the door is in the way. Staff were lovely but the lift wasn't working. Good location, close to the train station and town.

Overall a pleasant stay. Ideally located for town and a two-minute walk to the station (which was my primary reason for choosing the County Hotel) - there is also a sizable car park to the rear. I did get a cheap deal, so wasn't expecting a large room, but i was placed on the back of the building where im informed that it would be quieter. Due to the location, it does get a bit loud on the weekend evening with a couple of guests returning from their adventures quite late so bear this in mind if you're after a quiet night. The general decour away from the reception area is a little dated, but it is clean, the beds are comfortable and the shower is hot. Staff are all really polite and helpful with local knowledge. Breakfast is also quite good with a selection of hot food cerials and pastries. I'd happily stay here again.
