Excellent situation but needs some staff training in cleanliness and approaach to customers.
Pros:

The position of the Hotel was excellent able to get where we wanted effortless. A god menu.

Cons:

The room had nail clippings on the floor and had a strong urine smell in the bathroom , there was no Wi fi the first morning but was also slow throughout our stay. The breakfast was OK but you had to order a cooked breakfast and was very slow the first morning which is hopeless when you have a bus to catch the second morning there was a much nicer person on duty and the breakfast came quicker but had very salty bacon.. The evening meal carvery was run out of ham so only had beef at 7 pm.

Poor value for money. Filthy
Pros:

Staff were very friendly

Cons:

Bathroom floor has a massive split in it in front of the sink, dangerous
Shower curtain old and grubby
Towel thin than loo roll
Pillows thin
Restaurant was FILTHY
The breakfast plates were literally covered in old food - the full stack had not been cleaned and put out for breakfast. Revolting.

I will never step foot in a Marston pub or hotel again

Καλή σχέση ποιότητας και τιμής. Αρκετά καθαρό.
Pros:

Αρκετά καθαρό. Πανεύκολο πάρκινγκ.

Cons:

Το οικογενειακό δωμάτιο είναι λίγο στενό. Για παράδειγμα δεν μπορείς ν ανοίξεις καθόλου εύκολα μια μεγάλη βαλίτσα.
