Pros:

The room was very clean as expected. Nice bathroom

Cons:

It was stated as a double bed but the mattress was 2 singles pushed together. This is not very comfortable especially if you like to sleep in the middle . If being sold as a double bed I would recommend having a double mattress

Not the best
Pros:

The view from my room.

Cons:

This place is borderline derelict, I was told it had recently been used to.house the homeless who would also have grounds to complain. Carpet filthy, stains on the walls, towel rail.hanging off the wall. The promised parking space was not available, I was advised that I could park in the driveway until.midday with impunity. Woke up to find a parking ticket on my windscreen

Awful from start to finish
Cons:

The stay was extremely disappointing and fell far below the standard I expected.

Before arriving, I had already been made aware of several concerns and attempted to cancel my booking, but unfortunately I was unable to do so. I therefore proceeded with my stay, only to encounter further problems.

The room was freezing, the radiator was broken, and another radiator was coming away from the wall. There was mould on the picture above the bed, and the room, including the walls, was dirty. My room was also next to the lift, with doors slamming and guests making excessive noise throughout the night. As a result of the cold, noise and overall conditions, I was unable to get a proper night's sleep.

The manager was dismissive and unhelpful when I raised my concerns, simply telling me to take the matter up with Booking.com. I was also spoken to in a manner I found unacceptable, including being addressed with the words, “Excuse me, young lady, where do you think you're going?!”

I specifically booked this hotel because it was advertised as dog-friendly. However, I was unable to use the parking facilities as expected or have breakfast at the property with my dog. Although the restaurant was advertised as pet-friendly, I was refused entry with my dog, meaning I could not eat there. I understand that the restaurant was self-service, so I found this particularly unreasonable. I was also repeatedly asked to leave my dog with members of staff, which I was not comfortable doing. A hotel advertising itself as dog-friendly should clearly explain any restrictions before a booking is made.

I was informed of a parking charge despite understanding that parking was free, and I was also charged extra for bringing my pet, despite the hotel being advertised as dog-friendly.

Overall, the accommodation was uncomfortable, the facilities were poorly maintained, and the service was disappointing. The experience was far below what was advertised and what I paid for.

Adequate. Would worry about noise from adjoining rooms when hotel busy or full.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Friendly staff.

Cons:
