Categories

Cleanliness
8.7
Rooms are frequently described as clean and well presented; some issues reported with restaurant cleanliness (sticky tables) and occasional mould on a ceiling, so overall cleanliness is strong but not flawless.
Service
9.8
Service is repeatedly praised (friendly, welcoming staff, named staff thanked for excellent help); isolated negatives include a closed pub/front desk and one comment about unprofessional behaviour, but overwhelmingly positive feedback supports a high score.
Location
8.7
Location is repeatedly called perfect for specific visits and convenient for exploring the area; some guests noted it sits on an industrial-type area with little nearby, so generally very good for the right purpose.
Room Quality
7.2
Rooms are described as comfortable and well maintained by many, but several guests reported firm beds, small rooms, inadequate ventilation/Windows only opening a little, a broken air-con causing severe disruption, and occasional mould—lowering this score.
Amenities
8.5
Amenities include free parking, a playground and a secure building which guests liked; negatives include Wi‑Fi requiring extensive personal details and limited keycards, so overall amenities are good but with some friction.
Value for Money
9.5
Multiple comments praise the price–performance and value; rooms often described as better than expected for the price, supporting a strong value score.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Several guests reported disappointing breakfast items (oily potato scone) and concerns about the restaurant's cleanliness and food quality; one pub across the road received positive mention, but overall F&B is an area needing improvement.
Overall Experience
8.8
Most guests report an overall good or wonderful stay with clean rooms and friendly staff, though a minority experienced major issues (no sleep due to AC failure, staffing gaps), so the aggregate overall experience is strongly positive.

It was good value for money really.
Pros:

Generally good value for money

Cons:

I found the bed very firm and uncomfortable
There's a factory over the road that has a generator/ fans that run through the night. It's possible to ignore when the windows are closed, but when they are open it's too loud to sleep, so you have to have the windows closed at night.
