Staff were really friendly and so helpful. Everywhere was very clean. The only downside, was them not being able to offer breakfast but I’m sure that will come. I truly wish them all the best for the future of the pub

Great place

I’ve stayed here for a few weeks with work and had very pleasant stay. Staff are really friendly and welcoming. The rooms are large and the location is perfect with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

The staff were friendly but the room was very tired. Whilst the bed was very comfy, the shower was mouldy and didn't work. The carpets were coming up at the corners and the whole room needed some tlc. There were bulbs missing from light fixtures and one of the windows wouldnt stay open due to the rope being broken. If you want more than basic this isn't for you. But we felt welcomed and slept well. Its a good location and the free car parking was a bonus for town centre.

Disturbed sleep

With an old building it comes with squeaky floor boards. Could hear footsteps from the room above me. Which seemed to go on throughout the night.

Tired hotel

A very tired hotel. Room had a broken window, peeling paint and bar was out of draft beer and closed early. Fortunately room was clean if dated. Needs a big makeover.

Noisy

Our room overlooked the market square. The windows were not double glazed and the noise from the square was dreadful all night. Drunks arguing and swearing and noisy cars. It was very difficult to get any sleep. We had a drink in the bar in the evening and we were the only ones there, except for a couple of staff members that seemed to be having a big disagreement about something.

I’ve stayed at this property multiple times and never had a major issue. However, on this occasion I spent 2 nights without any hot water and therefore no ability to wash. I mentioned to reception after the first night, expecting it to be resolved but it was not. I was told to email them after the second night to discuss compensation and whilst the beginning of the conversation was good it amounted to very little. I was promised “head office” would be in touch to resolve the situation, which didn’t happen. Rather than any compensation I was then offered a discount on my next nights stay, totalling a measly £11 discount, which felt like a further insult after not being able to wash for 3 days. Steer clear at all costs!

Not great

Hotel Inspector would’ve had a field day with this one. Weird little staircase to rooms (unsuitable if you have mobility issues) Dirty room with ill fitting carpet, dirty, stained bathroom, I especially regretted lifting up the toilet brush to use it. Windows don’t fit so it’s drafty and they didn’t lock - room leads to a fire escape so someone could have easily broken in from outside. Staff didn’t speak good English, but they did manage to convey that front door would be locked from 10pm and that I could use my room key to open it. I immediately knew that wasn’t going to work (I did try and fail at 9.50pm) so I opened my window and literally clambered back in, essentially breaking in to my own room. Classic!

After we checked in the guys on reception kindly carried our heavy cases to the top of the building, room 17 is up a narrow staircase. The building is very old. The room slopes in many directions but was spacious with a super-king bed, the bathroom was also very large but it was impossible to stand in the bath/shower as it was under a sloping roof. Our pillows had no pillow protectors & were heavily stained a foul yellow colour from sweat. The bed didn’t have a mattress protector either. We showed the guys on reception our unsavoury pillows & asked for new pillows or at least pillows that were clean - they didn’t have any so they gave us extra pillow cases. As the town was booked out we had no choice but to go with this. It really is totally unacceptable to have such low standards of cleanliness, this hotel really needs to lift its game. Would we stay again - NO!!!

Stay away!!

Appalling, only thing clean was bedding, boiling water coming from both hot and cold taps, trip hazzard from bathroom to bedroom re carpet away from floor. No kitchen facilities on site although was advertised for breakfast. Cleaning staff friendly and helpful. Apart from when we checked in there was never anyone around at reception so nobody to voice our complaints to. We were booked for a 3 night stay but left very early after one night to move to another hotel., didnt even unpack!! We would not have stayed that one night if we could have booked another hotel but it was bank holiday weekend and everywhere was booked up.

Tired Room!

On arrival the room looked lovely and we were happy. Once settling into our room we started to notice the problems. The wardrobe door came off its hinges when opening. The floor of the wardrobe was also broken and collapsed in on itself. The coffee tray was placed in a area with no plug. This tray also held the mirror up so once you move it the mirror closes. This was also the case the other side of dresser with a fan. The bathroom window didn't close fully and the bathroom blind didn't fit the window lay out correctly. The bathroom bin was broken and lid fell on the floor. The carpet was frayed and ill fitted leaving the trim and metal work/ spikes bare.

My initial impressions were OK, I couldn’t get WiFi in my room and was upgraded without any fuss. My new room was large and the bed very comfortable. It was, however, very hot and the window opened but didn’t stay open and I had to use a hanger to keep it open. The fan provided rattled off of the side and was too noisy to use. The bathroom was spacious and looked clean but the tap dripped constantly and the tiles were lifting off of the floor. I could have forgiven all this but on my last night the experience I had was, in my opinion, unforgivable II couldn’t get the key to open the main door. I was stuck on a busy road, with lots of drunk revellers and I was a solo female. I called the number on the door and the man that arrived was very rude. He tried my key and of course it worked, and he accused me of being rude! The look on his face was extremely intimidating and made me more nervous than I was when stuck outside. I tried to apologise but he continued to be aggressive. I understand that I was at fault but it was 11.45pm and I was flustered, he was on call and presumably it is part of his job to help customers, even if they are stupid!
