Absolutely unacceptable experience. Check-in was fine, but it went downhill fast. We were put in a room directly facing a construction site, which woke us up early in the morning. The hotel was clearly quiet, so why on earth were we placed there? The WiFi didn’t work at all — no connection with the network provided. We work remotely, so we had to waste the morning hot-spotting off our phones. Completely ridiculous for a hotel advertising WiFi. Then came the worst part — the shower’s hot water tap didn’t work. It turned, but no water came out. The showerhead was covered in limescale, suggesting it hadn’t been used (or cleaned) in ages. Only cold water worked — so no proper shower for us. We tried calling both the hotel and the out-of-hours number for 2 HOURS with no answer. Eventually, I walked around to the pub to find someone. The door said reception opens at 10 (online said 7), but I found a deliveries number and called. The guy who answered was rude and unhelpful, saying they open at 10:30. He said someone would come in 20 minutes. We waited 40. No one ever came. We had to check out at 11am with no working shower, no staff contact, no apology. Extremely poor service all around. Won’t be coming back — and I strongly suggest you don’t either

Stay clear! Horrendous

On arrival - car park was full. Even though stated for hotel guests only, after calling the hotel was told it was full with people in the restaurant so they would get a chef to move his car. Once checked in - got into the room to a very tired room that looked like not been updated for years. After a long journey- I wanted to just watch the tv. Tried turning it with remote but didn’t work as batteries run out! Got it on with button on tv only to find it had not signal! Tried to use phone but not much signal so looked in hotel book regards WiFi and tried to log onto one offered in book to find not available!!!! The toilet was filthy - bath / shower not much better! Due to warm weather - room had a fan in there but only just felt the fan due to amount of dust on the three blades and outer casing. Went for a shower - picked up supplied towels and these look like they have not been changed since building was built. Holes in towels, very thing and ends all frayed!!

It’s a decent enough 3 star property in good location in town centre with car park. My bedroom was good standard. The building itself perhaps a bit dated. No issues for me with stay. Served it’s purpose well

Unfortunately, my recent stay was quite disappointing. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was completely empty, leaving only a rusty frame, and the floor was visibly dirty with a yellow tint. When I attempted to make a cup of tea, I found the mug in the room was unclean and had to go back to reception to request a replacement. To make matters worse, the milk provided had expired back on 27/10/2024. Under the previous ownership, the quality and attention to detail were significantly better. I truly hope the current management will bring the standards back up—or ideally, raise them further. As it stands, I don't see myself returning.

We stayed the night before going to the airport so we didn’t have to get up quite so early. Check in was easy and painless. Room was basic which is fine. TV didn’t work and channels wouldn’t tune. You could hear the door banging and people walking above quite loudly. Our room was ground floor and window looked onto the road which wasn’t too bad. Room was relatively clean - defo some DIY needed in areas. Main reason for low score was that water came through the ceiling on several occasions through the night. Luckily it was not over the bed but we were concerned that the cracks were worsening. We had to pile towels on the floor to stop the sound. We weren’t provided with a number to call in an emergency so had to wait until morning to report.
