was disappointed
Pros:

Location was accessible, large car park

Cons:

No WiFi available. Room was cold dispute the heating being on. Given a electric heater but very noisy. Had to pay an extra £10 to have a dog in the room. This was not stated prior to booking. Generally rundown hotel needing tlc and room could be more thoroughly cleaned

No frills, comfortable, but seen better days.
Pros:

I was the only guest midweek in a dull January. The welcome was warm, and the room comfortable. Sadly there was no breakfast available but the garden centre next door was recommended by the host and turned out to be a good option.

Cons:

The shared shower didn't drain properly, meaning that the residue of previous users remained on the floor of the shower tray.

A pleasant overnight stay.
Pros:

Good location for visiting our friends close by. Had Sunday carvery, it was very good.
The room was spacious with a large bathroom. For an old building it was pleasant and well presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Unfortunately it was let down by stains found on the bedding, and black mould in some areas of the bathroom, a large crack in the sink. Otherwise overall it was clean and tidy.

Back to the dark ages! Stay somewhere else!
Pros:

Not too far off the A55.

Cons:

I have absolutely no idea how this hotel can be rated as 4 star!! From my many years of not only commercial travelling, but holiday touring around the UK and Europe I have stayed in more comfortable and reasonably priced 2 and 3 star hotels.
My room (no 5) was sited directly adjacent to a constant loud humming sound, which became apparent when I got into bed. The resulting night sleep totally negated my plan of saving the 4.5 hour drive from Lincolnshire to catch the morning ferry to Dublin.
The barman was the receptionist and gave some pretty unprofessional instructions to me with regard to keys and the morning. I wasn't even asked if I would like breakfast
The booking.com site is unclear with regard to bathroom facilities, which for this room was not en-suite (not unreasonable to expect from a 4 star hotel. There was a hand-basin in the corner and I had to run the hot tap for 9 minutes before it ran warm and another minute before hot enough to wash and shave. The bath and shower room are not immediately adjacent to the bedroom I was in, but decided that as they were both filthy, that I would wait until later in the day to have a body wash. Certainly not warm and welcoming bath/shower rooms. The towels on the bed were of poor quality and mis-matched.
A totally awful stay, poor and very broken sleep due to the noise. Glad I took my own pillow as the ones on the bed were like bricks!
I booked for convenience and the 4 star rating. Big mistake not reading the reviews!!

Respectfully suggest that the owner goes to stay in other hotels and gathers some enlightening ideas for 4 star hospitality. Then demolish the place and rebuild with something befitting 4 star! If the rating is 4 star and self awarded, I think you'll find you're WRONG!

Basic, could be cleaner, but cheap stay with our dog.
Pros:

Very basic but suited our needs as a last minute cheap stay with the dog. They also let us check out an hour later at no cost.

Cons:

It wasn’t the cleanest, mould in various areas, not 100% sure the bedding was clean, shower in the room didn’t have hot water.

Cold and uncomfortable.
Pros:

The room was clean and large with a large bathroom.

Cons:

The room was cold, the bedding wasn’t warm enough (I had to put clothes over my pyjamas), the morning staff seemed surprised we wanted breakfast, very long wait for a sub standard over priced breakfast.
