The hotel failed to inform me that their roof was leaking prior to my visit and only told me as I checked in. I couldn't find any communal toilets in the hotel section so was forced to use the toilet and watch I didn't slip in the puddle of water that accumulated on the floor.

The check in staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was good for our requirement. Nice pub and most of the locals were friendly. Felt unwelcomed with the seating in the non-operational bar where we were trying to accommodate the viewing of the game for the other guests. Felt blamed for parking in the space provided as directed by staff; there was no signage saying that the area was to be kept clear as this is a fire exit. However, alternative parking provided relatively quickly. Also, the fan provided in the room did not work.

Won’t recommend this place.

I would not stay here again. The bedsheet had hair/dust, kettle in the room wasn’t too clean, there was only a single cup besides the fact that I booked a king double room and the floor mat in the toilet was untidy. The exhaust fan looked as if it was not cleaned.
