Abysmal worst place we have ever stayed
Pros:

Arrived in carpark general area was like a rubbish tip clearly not maintained at all and not even any parking bays marked out.
Walked in hotel receptionist was friendly and helpful, this is where the good points ended !
Stairs up to the room, corridors, carpets were all very dated, tatty and not very clean.
Entered the room which when we first walked in looked like it was ok but on closer examination we noticed how bad it was cobwebs on curtains, bird mess covered the windowsill. Only 1 bedside cabinet and no plugs anywhere near the bed there was a couple in the room all over the other side of the room, there was a fan in the room the cable was about 2 foot long so we had to move the table to put it on to get it near the bed to give us any relief from the heat !
Good point only 2 pillows requested some more and they arrived promptly.
Tea making facilities were ok but didn’t anticipate the milk being off, would have expected a bottle of water and a couple of glasses to take tablets at least.
Bathroom was adequate but the grout between the tiles on the flooring was filthy.
Evening meal was an experience half the menu unavailable as the clay oven was out of action, was not good value for money at all and only thing we could have was a curry and rice and the service was poor.
Breakfast was woeful went to make tea the milk turned lumpy again ! Made waitress aware but I didn’t bother to refill once she changed it, only 2 good things about the breakfast was the bread was fresh although only white on offer and the eggs were freshly cooked, bacon cremated and sausages certainly were not freshly cooked looked a few days old.
All in all a dreadful experience and would never return fire exit door banging all night where people use it as a smoking area is more in keeping with a refuge for the homeless than a hotel couldn’t wait to leave !

I can definitely recommend and would stay again especially for the Asian food.
Pros:

The food in the restaurant was excellent, far exceeding expectations and in fact my metal was one of the best curries I have eaten, full of authentic flavour and worthy of comparison in any restaurant. Breakfast was also very good.

Cons:

Room was a little dated.

Goed voor op doorreis.
Pros:

We kregen een upgrade toen we klaagden over de twee 1-persoonsbedden ipv één 2-persoonsbed. Dat was aardig. Ontbijt was echt wel goed.

Cons:

Onderhoud. Alles in zeer slechte staat.

Pros:

Clean and spacious. Nice room, mostly well maintained, clean and comfortable bed. Nice bedhead and painted wall behind the bed. Tv good. Kettle etc all ok.

Cons:

A few things needed some love; taps missing the tops, shower a bit blocked, walls needed painting - scuff marks and dents, curtains hanging off, sash window broken, duvet cover torn.

Cons:

Tiny boiling hot dated room. We asked to move and got an even worse room in terms of decor. Curtains hanging off the rail. Broken sash window. Just shabby. And the second room was only marginally cooler because we had two fans on all night plus the window open. Staff were lacklustre. Breakfast for £12.50 not worth the price.

A disappointing experience of a uk hotel - dated and worn
Pros:

The bed was ok.

Cons:

The shower in the room was terrible. Trickle flow. The bathroom smelt of drains.
It’s clear the rooms haven’t been renovated / decorated in some time. It had a musty smell and the carpets look 30+ years old.
Could do with a full length mirror in the room.
There are no plugs by the bed to charge phones.
Terrible coffee in the breakfast, no fresh fruit or healthy breakfast options.

Pros:

Colazione è sicuramente l'elemento forte della struttura sia dove viene servita sia la tipologia. La struttura ha anche un bar aperto utile per bere qualcosa e un giardino esterno.

Cons:

Il ristorante aveva poche cose e non abbiamo avuto molta scelta. Le camere sono limitate e non hanno l'aria condizionata.. cosa indispensabile oramai. La pulizia era ok, ma il bagno è da rimodernare. Infine la struttura è un pò troppo vicinia alla strada e non si ha a pieno la sensazione di una casa di campagna.
