The extract fan in the bathroom didn’t work so very high humidity. This was also evident as there was mould on the curtain. We left the window open when we went out but not practical when with two young kids when we were sleeping. Breakfast was brilliant and staff really friendly.

Nice big bedroom, parking lot with ample space. However, the table surfaces are sticky in the pub and eating areas. Also, people staying multiple nights experience the same breakfast foods every morning without variations.

Lovely staff tired room.

Lovely warm staff, room looked a bit tired, splash marks on the walls, veneer peeling off bathroom units, chipped bath. Bed was lovely and comfortable. Slightly disappointed that the restuarant didn’t serve any Scottish dishes at all or have any cask ales (particularly as it is a Marston’s pub).

The hotel is becoming a bit run down. Our toilet smelled of rotten drains. Told reception but nothing was done about it. For 3 days there was a plastic container on the stairs so the cleaners didn’t go near there
