Average at most

Host was pleasant and said to ring if we needed anything. It said breakfast was included but didn't get given any details to where to go for breakfast. I saw others saying you had to go to a cafe up the road but I wasn't given any information. Beds were very comfortable. The shower was mouldy and only trickled out. It was ok for the few hours that we needed the room for.

No heating

Room was very clean and well presented. I booked a king size for one night with breakfast, was told on arrival they didn’t do breakfast. We fell asleep around 9pm I woke up about 12.00 very cold no heating was on and quilt was only 10.5tog. This let the stay down will not rebook

We had booked a twin room, however on the day of arrival the owner has painted the room, so we ended up both been put in double rooms. The rooms we stayed in were very clean, offered tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite.

Accommodation was clean and all good, host was lovely and helpful, breakfast was served in a cafe next door, the food was good, just a bit strange going to a cafe, would probably be better to just advertise as room only

We had a ground floor room which was nice and clean but didn’t have an outside window which was a bit strange. The included breakfast was actually in a cafe next door to the property. Good location for the Open Air Theatre.

Does not serve breakfast !!

Booked as breakfast included but was told on arrival no breakfast is provided. No discount or refund for breakfast , just told no , we don’t do breakfast. Basic room , shower was very hot and not powerful at all , it was a mission trying to use it without getting burnt. Room clean enough and we slept ok . No parking , the street is crammed full of cars , we got lucky squeezing into a spot down an alley but it’s not ideal. We booked for location for the open air theatre , it’s perfect for this only 5 minutes down the road. It doesn’t really seem to be a manned hotel , I texted the guy with our arrival time and he was there to give us the keys but we never saw anyone after that. We wouldn’t book this place again purely for the breakfast issue

Not as good as the ratings

Didn’t quite live up to the rating in our opinion. Building and room had a musty, almost damp smell to it. Breakfast is at a cafe next door, which was good but you only get a £5.50 limit. A small breakfast is £5.50 which means you have to pay for your drinks. Breakfast should always include a cuppa!! Shower pressure in room 5 was borderline awful. Host was a nice chap. All it all, it wasn’t unpleasant but will try elsewhere next time.

Under new management

New owner from late July/early August. No owner or manager on site. Check in requires phone call to owner who will arrive in 10 minutes to let you in. Kitchen being refurbished so no breakfast. Breakfast at nearby restaurant is partially subsidized by owner if you had paid for it at The Meltham. Fire alarm doesn't work in all rooms - we had a false alarm which took 20 minutes for the owner to respond and turn it off - no Fire Department response. Our room was cleaned on the first 2 days but not on the 3 remaining days. Only soap in the room was one small bar. Shower never worked properly despite owner's attempts to correct. Towels very poor quality and were replaced only when requested.
