It was expensive but it also wasn’t worth what I paid
Pros:

Close to the M5

Cons:

Sadly the rooms are small and pokey, the lights didn’t work, there was issues with parking as the car park isn’t big enough for a hotel and restaurant. Over all I wasn’t impressed

Would not stay again.
Pros:

We used the accommodation to have quick access to a wedding which was 7mins away. The room was very clean. Good amount of parking. We aren't sure we loved the self serve check in. It feels a little impersonal however the bar staff were on hand to speak to if needed. We had a small double room and it was a tight fit for two people. The hanging space did not allow a mid length dress to hang. The ironing board was a table one which was half the length of a normal ironing board and was difficult to use without creating more creases.

Cons:

The bed was rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. The walls are paper thin and we could hear the people in the room next to us speaking like they were in our room. We were also woken up many times to the sound of someone plugging something into a power socket. Each time someone passed in the corridor the door would rattle.
I had a discount applied to the room but I still don't think it was worth £100 a night.

Not entirely happy
Pros:

The location is great for drive touring and for other nearby facilities like bars and restaurants. Parking is excellent. Access system is easy.

Cons:

The room, although small, would have been acceptable. However, the shower was possibly the worst we have ever encountered. So small that you had to breathe in to get in and out through the very small door opening. A high step to get in and out which Is for genuine plumbing reasons, but no hand hold to assist that process, making a precarious undertaking to enter and exit. Also the shower head did not fit the holder and also sprayed water from the head to hose fitting. Toilet paper wasn't replaced when it ran out. No apparent system to ask for customer assistance. Tea cups provided but never cleaned or replaced. The bar/restaurant seemed to have cutlery left on table where no one was eating but people were sitting having a drink. This didn't seem like a good idea when fidget fingers start handling other people's utensils.

Good sized room, comfortable bed. Plenty of parking space , lovely staff.
Enjoyed main course evening meal - belly pork , good breakfast

Self checking in and out , had to seek out a member of staff each time to help/ clarify info. Missed the personal touch. Also needed help to find directions to room as no information given!

Lovely place - lovely staff! Self check in creates the wrong first impression for me and in the end it looks like corner
Pros:

Lovely bar area, friendly staff, nice clean room, fab breakfast.

Cons:

Not keen on self check in - feels impersonal - it’s more a question of personal taste, but I think having a human present at check in is not too difficult? It also felt a bit weird going down to a busy bar during the evening asking at the till for a pillow and some milk! Middle aged men supping on their pints maybe doesn’t mix with mad middle aged lady asking for a pillow! Notwithstanding this, I then had to ask again about 25 mins later, and to be fair, I got what was requested immediately with an apology and a “it’s been very busy”. The staff are so lovely - they don’t need to hide behind a self check in! I’d suggest that having dedicated “hotel” staff would also save mixing pub business with routine room requests, and make everyone’s life easier. The staff looked pushed to cope with a busy bar and routine room requests.

We wouldn't go there again. It was a very high price to pay to not be able to sleep.
Pros:

The breakfast was very poor quality. The room was clean but the bed was extremely uncomfortable and so were the pillows. We couldn't sleep for the night. We also booked a twin room but were given a double bed, which was no good. Very poor, when we particularly booked a twin. The bedroom window was open and jammed, so we could not shut it, making the room very cold. To be honest, we would have been more comfortable sleeping in our car. I could not recommend. The staff were pleasant.

Cons:

All it needed was comfortable beds and pillows, a window that could be closed and a shelf in the shower. There was nothing to put the shampoo or shower gel on.

Pros:

Nice clean place with friendly staff

Cons:

Ours was a quick overnight stay to break a long journey home so all was OK, the standard double bed felt a little cramped.

With the refusal of a little extra sausage with breakfast I won’t be staying again…
Pros:

Clean. Quiet(ish). Pleasant staff.

Cons:

Improve room size for the price. Listen to the customer, especially when they ask for an extra sausage with breakfast. That isn’t asking a lot.

Lovely Short Stay Hotel
Pros:

The staff were friendly, food was lovely and room was clean.
