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.

A reasonably-priced and well-located hotel.

I was greeted by the friendly manageress. I was bumped up to a larger room from my original single so I can't say if the facilities are the same. The room was clean and comfortable with a microwave and fridge as well as the usual coffee/tea, etc. It had a fan to cool you down and an extra cover to warm you up. The shower-room was a reasonable size with added toiletries.

I was interested in a low priced hotel, IN LONDON! Expedia listed this hotel as in London. This hotel is far outside of London! The time it would take, to get a train, plus the money for the train, would be too time consuming for this trip! Because Expedia listed this non refundable hotel, in London, when it was at least 45 minutes away (one way), Expedia ruined the London part of my trip!
