Disappointing

I visited the property on 30 of may for one night only .... I haven't never stayed in a room that falls apart and a bathroom where you can only use the shower side ways .... The receptionist was friendly and so does the housekeeper . The only clean things in the room where the sheets . Location wise was fantastic but really for £80.00 is was a joke . Of course I won't never stay there again ,I only booked it because it was the only place available location wise .

How is this on here?

In all honesty, I would never bother again. Utter shambles and quite horrid. I only stayed here as everywhere else was fully booked and an extortionate price. I would have been better off sleeping in the car. Don't get me wrong, the staff were friendly, but it is a shocker!

Shoddy

Poor throughout. No breakfast. No parking. Toilet seat broken. Wifi didn't work. Room so small, it was like playing Tetris just to fit our bags in. No room for a chair. Only room for one bedside table. Couldn't sleep because of the screaming and fighting of the pissed-up holidaymakers in the vicinity. Shoddy

This property is run unprofessionally. In my opinion it is a serious fire, health and safety risk, unclean, and unworthy to be called or sold at any price as a hotel. I am surprised it is on your listings? They did not even have our redervation.
