The room was dirty, there was dust clung to the wallpaper but the worst element was the foisty and mouldy bathroom, it smelt and had lots of visible mould. The shower head was dirty and covered in black gunk, the extractor didn’t work which I’m guessing is what had helped the mould grow.

We stayed for one night with two dogs. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was a lovely bar area! The hotel was in a great location and our room was clean. The decor in the hotel was slightly dated, but it was perfect for what we wanted for the night.

Low price, but uncomfortable bed.

For the price, I'd stay again, provided they replace the mattress, it was too soft and old, my wife ended up in the z bed with my daughter as it was hurting her back. It was also cold, with no heating, it was the end of October and had to go to bed with a jumper and socks on. Checkin was smooth with the freindly barman. The room was clean, kettle, hairdryer etc. provided. Could do with a larger mirror. The room was quiet, I couldn't hear other guests or noise from the pub below. No road noise, the room overlooked the main road but I couldnt hear buses as they past, obviously this would be different on a hot summers day with the window open.

Checked into the hotel went for a walk, when we returned the accommodation in the hotel section had no power despite the bar still being open, we were given no apology just told they had to wait for an electrician to turn it back on, this was about 5.30pm we ended up going to bed early with no light no heating or hot water, it eventually came back on about 10pm I think and woke us up, again on check no apology nothing.

I liked the proximity to the town.Very basic. Wasn't worth the price we paid. Wasn't designed for a woman. No hooks for clothes in the bathroom and know where to put your toiletries in the shower. You would be ok if you wanted to use there's. Nothing for sanitary towles. One bin for rubbish. Member of staff on the day we arrived didn't seem very friendly. Wouldn't stop again.

You get what you pay for

Location was good, a short stroll down the hill to the lake, and close to paid parking. Room size was ok, and bed was comfortable - however, this is a case whereby you really do get what you pay for... The overall feel is the decor is very tired and the mould around the shower (presumably increased by the broken extractor fan) was gross. It was clean enough, and tidy enough, but I wouldnt rush to stay there again, even at a bargain price. Bar area was a bit too rough and ready.

Loud and noisy above the saloon

It was bound to happen. After years of Hotels.com reviews, I have experienced my worst night and would like a refund. Never should one be in a room above/adjacent to a bar (especially on Saturday night). The noise was beyond uncomfortable even for me, a very heavy sleeper. I may have gotten 3-4 hours of sleep.

So so at best

It is difficult for me to understand how places that don’t allow you into your room until mid afternoon don’t have space to store your luggage. Also there was a very poor water stream from the shower and no internet availability from the top floor.

Needs some tlc and modernising. Although in a good location it’s spoilt by the lack of decor and poor quality. The staff were very nice and helpful customers from the pub tended to smoke and chat right under our window and it was very noisy the karaoke went on till midnight.
