Bike & Boot

Parking is a bit tricky but we did find a space

We were allocated a first floor room in an adjacent annex. This had no lift-not very good as we have ageing knees.
Not too concerned that the room had no view but the constant noise from seagulls nesting on nearby properties (e.g. the grubby-looking Travelodge and Grand hotels which don't seem to take basic seagull deterring methods) led to poor night's sleep

Nothing.

Nothing .

Nothing.

Every thing was fine

The small double rooms were very dark. Lighter colour scheme in line with the overall ‘theme’ would make them feel brighter.
Some of the skirting boards could do with a good jiff.

The outside looks scruffy and I struggled to find main door cos I'm abit daft

Noisy seagulls at night

Breakfast could be better for the price. There’s barely anything to eat. Needs more protein, for now it’s basically eggs and cold cuts

Breakfast was very disappointing

As first-time guests who had travelled over three hours to stay, we felt it was assumed we already knew how everything worked. On arrival, the member of staff said he was there to help with self check-in, but when I asked how it worked, I was simply told, “Don’t worry about that,” without any explanation. He then spent his time chatting to guests and fussing over their dogs in the bar area, so we ended up working the check-in process out ourselves.

Although the team were smiley and welcoming, we weren’t told about breakfast times, luggage storage, complimentary hot drinks or any of the hotel facilities. We only discovered at checkout that complimentary tea and coffee had been available throughout our stay when we mentioned needing extra teabags for the room.

The room itself could do with a little more attention to detail. The window only stayed open with a block of wood, there was no extractor fan in the bathroom, the shower leaked onto the floor, the sealant around the shower looked untidy, and the blind didn’t fit the window properly. The blind pull cord had also come apart, which I had to fix before we could use it.

Service in the restaurant started well but became less attentive as more staff came on shift. We waited quite a while for our bill while several staff were chatting together near the bar, before another member of the team noticed and came over to help.

Breakfast was disappointing. The pastries were dry and hard, the bacon looked grey and unappetising, there was very little fruit left by 9am, there was no tea available and only tubs of Flora rather than butter for toast.

At £131 for one night, we didn’t feel the overall experience reflected the price. Another guest also mentioned they’d experienced the lights tripping in their room, so it may simply have been one of those weekends where the hotel was under a bit more pressure than usual. Even so, we felt there were too many small issues that affected the overall experience.

Breakfast was quite bad - not much to eat and was not restocked. No fresh fruits and vegetables left. Eggs watery, bacon soggy.

Also room was very warm.
