Basic
Ok. Good basic room for price. Very clean. Bathroom not good - seat on loo broken, and squashed in a corner, not enough space and shower rail bowed to make it fit.
Very comfy and clean beds though, and excellent breakfast!

Neglected hotel
I truly don't like giving poor reviews, but quite honestly this hotel is seemingly beyond neglected. Mould on the walls, stained carpets, pillow cases didn't look clean, stains on the ironing board, walls peeling, the bed was very uncomfortable, noise from the pub till late... i could go on.
This is just a review of the hotel, not the pub it is linked to.

It’s Bulls..t. Do not stay here. Worth £20
Old run down pub that needs a lot of TLC.
first impressions was to be asked Ridley if I wanted to check in. Then they carried on moaning about other workers.
Called me on the day to let me know that had a function on. Failed to say it was directly below room. Dirty bathroom and food was very poor standard. Never going back.

Not sure where to start in the bathroom the fan doesn’t turn off so was on all night the toilet flush was not working even if you finally did get it to go the sound from the pipe work was terrible. The carpet felt like you're feet was sticking to it and the place had a funny smell everywhere you went.

Not a great stY
I booked 4 rooms for my husband and 3 others. On line the rooms looked ok for the cost. However my husbands bathroom was pretty naff and no one had hot water in the morning for a Shower. When they advised this upon check out the lady just said
there wasn’t any yesterday either 😳. Not
Really what you want to hear …a partial refund would probably have helped redeem the hotel.
