Potentially dangerous - locked outside at 3am!!

Checked in with no problems, but turns out that a key was missing from our room keys which left us locked outside at 3am. No staff on duty overnight to answer door or phone. We were left stranded outside in a dark, deserted town centre, unable to access the room and had to wake a friend who lives nearby and sleep on their couch. Not sure what we would have done if this was not an option. This could have been a very dangerous situation, but luckily we were were only left tired, angry and disappointed. Were promised a call-back from the manager but this has not happened. Pursuing full refund.

Clean and comfortable room. Friendly staff. Breakfast was good. But I didn’t like the front door being locked by 8.15pm and the outlook from our room (a wall, maybe a couple of metres from the window.)

Great staff, food & location, terrible mattresses

Mixed feelings about this traditional country hotel. Staff were amazing, friendly and efficient. Dinner was great, good quality, good menu. Breakfast that was included in the rate was generous, well cooked and reasonable quality for price. The rooms though!!!!!....very clean with spotless linen but are in need of some updating. Dingy, no pictures, no plug beside bed to charge phone, cold water tap on sink didn't work until suddenly came gushing out late morning, mirror light on the blink, couldn't get TV to work....but worst of all mattresses are terrible, soft and springey, terrible sleep. A few minor upgrades are all that are needed
