Pros:

This was the worst room we have ever stayed in (room 4). The bathroom was disgusting - silver fish all over the floor and no soap to wash your hands ,
The room was tiny and did not have a TV or kettle .
Upon checking out we were told that they had tried to kill the Silver fish but they were in the carpet - change the carpet for goodness sake. Also they don’t provide soap , we should use the shampoo or body gel ( 2 tiny sachets in the shower)
The shower was so small it was impossible to bend down to wash your feet - it was a joke.
The room should be decommissioned and fumigated immediately.
The room was not worth £5 never mind £65
I would like a complete refund

Good hotel.
Pros:

The hotel is very nice. Its clean and well located. Only issues we had was the bed was very hard, the tv in the room was in a bad place it wouldnt normally bother us but the weather was very bad so ended up staying in the room more than we wanted and non of us could see the telly from the beds especially my child.

Very clean, comfortable bed. Owners new to business and building it gradually. Some rooms not yet have tv. Staff very pleasant and welcoming, nothing too much trouble. Would recommend.

The outside of the hotel is awful and needs renovating, but the staff have only been there 2 months and they are working on that!
