Not amazing
Pros:

The staff

Cons:

Im just writing this review as I’m fairly shocked at my stay from the 9th to 10th of August, £75 a night while cheap and budget. I expect much more of a hygienic experience. Number 1 when I booked my stay it said that there was a dining area nice and lit up. Walk in dark and dingy, ask when dinners are till, the kitchen isn’t functioning, okay that’s fine. Next walk into the room, the shower that is directly next to my room was leaking sewege and reeking of human waste. Not to mention stained and sticky carpet. The state of the shower was ungodly absolutely horrible. No hand soap in the rooms, no bin, tv doesn’t work at all which is obviously part of the price. What if my partner needed a bin to put female sanitary products somewhere, what would she do? Sling it out the window?? And the fire exit door which is right next to my room had been propped open with a fire extinguisher all night which in my opinion is very very unsafe, ANYONE could walk in!!! I really don’t like writing this as the girls working were so lovely and helpful I wouldn’t want this falling on them but the establishment is flawed. And to top it off, check out is at 10 am left promptly, doors are locked can’t drop my keys off anywhere no one to take them, so some lovely man who was exiting same time as us offered to wait with our keys to drop them off when someone does decide to turn up as we were in a rush. So over all not very good, I am not usually like this but am expecting compensation for this in form of a refund.

Helt greit, vi fikk det vi kom for og litt til.
Pros:

Beliggenheten er veldig bra. Pga oppussing serverte de ikke mat, men det er gode kafeer like ved. Det var også veldig greit med parkering. Sengene var kjempegode og badet var rent og fint.

Cons:

Noen utfordringer med rommene vi bestilte, vi var 5 personer, og det var ikke helt match med enkel- og dobbelsenger. Men vi fikk god hjelp og det ordnet seg. Må vel nevne at det var mye fiksing og oppussing den langhelgen vi var der, men tross det hadde vi et fint opphold.

Run down old pub in the village centre - needs renovation
Pros:

Great location and old pub with log fire in the evening. Good helpful staff.

Cons:

Very run down. Room dirty and cold. Dirty toilet, no toilet paper, only 1 towel for 2, dirty carpet & dust everywhere - however, staff quickly fixed most things right away when requested. Needs a new mattress on the bed and decorating.

Good location but overall disappointing
Pros:

Comfortable bed. Staff were helpful with finding us parking.

Cons:

The hotel has the potential to be lovely but it desperately needs investment and TLC. Everything is tired, shabby and scuffed, but the more pressing issue is that cleanliness isn't up to scratch. My bathroom hadn't been cleaned (it was then quickly cleaned when I pointed this out) and there was dust on surfaces, There is no kitchen, though food can be delivered from nearby restaurants. A good location though.
