Marsh Farm Hotel

Het is daar een verschrikking. Oud en vies. Achterstallig onderhoud. Maar vooral vies!!

Very dirty, shower looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a year, bathroom mirror was dirty with what looked like spit, had a food truck outside my window so I got to listen to food orders all night.
Toilet wouldn't flush properly, etc, etc. Don't stay here.

All ok

Our door didn't feel very secure.
The room was a bit shabby and in need of some refurbishment. The side of the bath was broken, the towel rail rusty and some parts of the room were dirty.

The whole place looked run down and shabby. The bed was uncomfortable and slanted to one side. There were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. One bedside light didn’t work and the light over the mirror in the ensuite was broken. The outside space was full of weeds and every thing looked unkempt. The paint was peeling on the windows and doors.

Everything felt tired and ok but not as clean as It could be . No hand soap by sink ..just individual mini shower soap bottle x3
Breakfast was cheap & cheerful but served in what was once a beautiful conservatory ..but now just a few big plants almost dead from lack of water . Felt that attendant just opened up for breakfast (orange juice, small cereal box,tiny yoghurt , toast. Both tea and coffee so weak there was no flavour , cutlery badly water stained ) cleared up and locked room again in very perfunctory way.
Such a shame …no smiles or even greeting ..bored, down at heel vibes..such a shame ..with a bit of investment and enthusiasm & Passion this place could be great again ..it has some well appointed rooms, and good parking ..great location , lots of potential for family & working travellers, conferences or weddings ..but sadly lacking care…just scraping by ..with skeleton staff….not good not dreadful but not first choice ..it is cheap though and Sheets were crisp and clean so feel someone is trying …I hope they Succeed!
Two double rooms only one bedside light working in each , 3rd “Superdouble “ turned out to be 2 shingle mattresses …one HARD one SOFT zipped together…no good for small plus size man to sleep on ! Don’t go unless you need cheap and your expectations are Low

Lack of basic ammenities. Bar was closed. Restaurant was closed. Breakfast was continental style but not available after 9am. Butter was rancid.
Windows were dirty whole place showed lack of repair. and maintenance.
Sheets were dirty. Tv was faulty no signal. Kettle in room still had water in it. Refreshment tray had two odd cups no saucers. Very basic sachets of drinks. No biscuits. No hair dryer in room had to ask at reception. Sheets were dirty, towels had seen better days.
Only means of getting food was a burger van parked in the grounds.
Zero atmosphere staff seemed to have just given up.
When booked the premises appeared to be a going concern with abundance of ammenities. Zero available. We had booked two rooms they were located at opposite ends of the hotel in different buildings.
Building was like a ghost town on walking round it was obvious that in its day this hotel must have been sumptuous and grand. Saddely no longer true.

The place is neglected and needs a complete refurbishment if it is to call itself a hotel. Broken tarmac, flaking paint, rusting fittings, warped bathroom panels, dirty windows, poor quality cheap furniture, rattling doors and debris hanging out of the gutters. It may once have been good but it's clear that whoever owns this property now doesn't care about it. Breakfast best summarised by saying that the central offering is small boxes of coco pops and Frosties. Having a big white burger and kebab van offering various 'meal deals' between the main building and the 'accommodation block' really captures the vibe nicely.

WC bril van matige kwaliteit. Geluid van verkeer.

All of it.

The breakfast is a very basic continental breakfast. Cheap coffee from a multi dispense machine. But no other choices.
Dirty Plates and cups left on tables at breakfast. Little bin where you put your rubbish from the cereals was allover the floor no one cared about clearing it all away.
Was scruffy.

The whole place looks unkept and needs a good scrub. The photos in your advert don't portray what it looks like now.

The place is generally run down. Room needed a deep clean with numerous cobwebs present. The plumbing is ancient with the showers taking over five minutes to warm up, the cistern took ages to refill, and toilets and sinks tools time to empty. Only breakfast available was a continental one which we didn’t try. There was no evening food available except from a burger van parked on site. There was little evidence of any staff on site.

Contact with the staff was rude, both through messages as in person. The restaurant that is, and I quote from the listing, "open for afternoon tea, lunch and dinner" is nonexistent.
The bath was covered in black dust and the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in weeks. The kettle was really dirty, so I had to clean that first. Breakfast was minimal, basically just toast and ice cold croissants. The room where it was served (the so called restaurants they so proudly advertise) was piping hot so I took my breakfast outside where the outdoor furniture, a wooden bench and a chair, was so rotten I was scared it would give in as soon as I sat on it.
I don't know where all those lovely pictures in the listing came from, but I never saw anything quite like it.
