Pros:

Utmärkt läge men uselt internet. VVS behöver

förbättras. Väldigt svagt vattentryck gjorde att det knappt gick att duscha. Ingen frukost och bara vissa dagar påfyllning av kaffe/te/mjölk i rummet

Cons:

Rooms needs a revamp
Pros:

Location 5 mins drive from Mallory Park

Cons:

Room needed a revamp. Very soft mattress, bit grubby and shower hardly any power and took ages to get hot. You definitely wouldn’t want to wash your hair under it!

Pros:

Lovely location. Room was a good size with a great view of a wheat field. Decoration was eclectic.

Cons:

No hot water, in sink or shower . Room was warm on arrival at 10pm. It was freezing cold by 11 and stayed that way unfortunately . Sink took ages to drain. Bathroom bin not emptied and dusty corners . Four poster was a bed with a throw put over the bed posts. Have stayed here before a number of times and it has been warm, clean and functional. No staff on site and restaurant / pub closed which I was aware of. There was a for sale sign on the pub when I went past in daylight so may be it is on its way for a refurb but this wasn't good. I was in room 8 so avoid !

Old, not worth the money, much better places nearby
Pros:

We were working at Mallory Park Circuit so the location was good but that was the only positive thing

Cons:

This is not a hotel, these are purpose built small rooms behind a closed pub which are extremely dated. Our key was just left in an unlocked room and we never saw a single member of staff
The 4 poster bed I paid extra for was squeezed into a room far too small for it, the mattress was very old and had collapsed on one side so bad we tried to sleep the other way round but that was very uncomfortable. The shower cubicle was tiny with a lot of black mould and when the shower was running it was just a dribble and never got hot.
The sink would fill as soon as you ran the tap so some plumbing issues and the extractor fan didn't work
There was a large sofa which took up too much of the small room that was very old plastic leather which was worn and cracked also not comfortable to sit on then on the second day when we returned there must have been new guests that were staying upstairs which sounded like they were about to come through the roof, every single movement they made was amplified by the terrible creaking of their floor which was our paper thin ceiling, we could hear their full conversations.
I definitely would not recommend or stay here again.
