A pleasant stay
Pros:

Jordan and his team went out of their way to make our stay a good one, with everything in our room that we could need. I'm coeliac, they provided a lovely big gluten free breakfast for me and my wife enjoyed hers too. By his own admission the rooms are a little dated but the beds are really comfortable and the parking is free. Thank you Jordan

Absolutely appalled at the place
Pros:

Nothing! Photos show a Seaview, there isn't one. Does anyone not physically check out these places and the photos etc? Apparently not. The steep staircase to the room was extremely dirty with lots of dried mud on it. The room was cold, sparsely decorated with junk shop furniture, cold, sticky carpet, no lamps on the bedside cabinets, the bathroom was extremely narrow-I could touch both sides of the walls standing in it, couldn't get into the shower cubicle as it's far too close to the toilet,no radiator in it either. Full length mirror on the wall outside the bathroom entrance and just before the main door but you couldn't see yourself in it as there was no ceiling light. You couldn't open the bathroom door and the main door at the same time either. We paid before we saw the room so we got a full refund and left. We shan't be going back. It's just a shabby back street pub. Your site said it had one room left, that was a lie as we were the only one's booked in that night.

Cons:

See all the above. So bad we drove the 1hr and 30mins home! You need to physically check these properties. And also the rating on your site. It should be a 0 with a description of Very disappointing, not a 5.2 and Passable!

Poor standards. We would not recommend a stay here.
Pros:

One male staff member was friendly.

Cons:

Dirty cutlery, tiny amount of toilet paper, leftover food underneath the bed which was propped up with a paint can! No pillowcases on the pillows. Sticky carpets. Had to ask twice for pillowcases and toilet roll. Not good value or enjoyable.

Staff very friendly and helpful, good location but accommodation needs updating
Pros:

Very close to a venue i was going to. Staff very friendly and very very helpful.

Cons:

When i booked i asked for a twin room as I was going with my daughter but was told that it was a double room. However at short notice my daughter couldn't attend so I took my wife.
The breakfast wasn't the best as it was cold and limited on portion size.

I won’t return
Pros:

The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned, the carpets on stairwells were filthy, handle rails dirty. Breakfast… orange juice was a poor version of diluted pop, coffee from sachets and food greasy.
