Avoid at all costs!

When we arrived the receptionist ask to pay before receiving keys. The room looks nothing like the one depicted in the advertising on the website or on the pictures on Hotels.com, total fraud. The room faced the rear of a restaurant where the garbage bins are and where the employees smoke and talk loudly all night. The beds had old and caved mattresses. The shower was not working. We got instructions to open the tap water in order to get some pump working and wait till water got to the shower. Then water was cold. Food looked bad and one of us got a long Curley hair in the fried eggs. We left breakfast (paid for) to another place. Painful experience all around.

Our first room we were assigned smelled poorly so we requested a refund and was offered a different room. the next room was fine but the pillows were unsupportive and the bathroom sink had trouble draining.

The building is older and a remodel was attempted. There is no lift so be able to carry your bags. The room was hot and when the window was opened there was no screen and it opened into a road with trash bins. The beds and linens were clean and in good condition. The parking is limited. We did not try the onsite dinner or bar.

Lovely hotel near center of village

Nice hotel just near the High Street. nice bar. We had a very large room with a large, comfortable bed. Couldn’t figure out how to start the Jacuzzi, which was a downside, and the absence if a real shower was somewhat odd these days. I do recommend the hotel as clean and orderly.

This hotel is convenient to the train station and the main street with the restaurants and pubs. It is a nice hotel, a little tired. But perfect for our one night stay. The pubs and restaurants were nice and easy to get to.

Room are very tiny, painted but smells horrible like in a chemical factory. I don’t expect a great interior but it’s just old retired interior and they are due an upgrade. For the price they are charging £100 per night at minimum, better invest some money in your property. Stairs are horrible, why there is no lift. Anybody old age don’t book this hotel and if it’s the only option then ask for ground floor rooms. Staff looks least interested, parking is a pain and most likely you may have to park in the paid car park (payable from 830am for max 3 hours). All in all, try to book one of bnbs at lake side which are hit away from the main center

Clean and comfortable

The hallways up to the bedrooms look quite tired but I got a pleasant surprise when I entered my bedroom and found it to be large, clean and nice looking. I had a really comfortable sleep the 2 nights I was there without any noise disturbance (I find it hard to sleep if there's much noise). Breakfast was good.
