Generally really nice but the security felt slightly lacking and very disappointing about breakfast.
Pros:

The room was lovely and clean (bed did have a few marks on sheet but not a massive problem). Beds very comfy, plenty pillows etc. tea/coffee was a lovely touch appreciated these as we were unable to have the breakfast which was disappointing but we made it work.

Cons:

There didn’t see to be much control/ monitoring over who was staying in the hotel which was worrying especially as I came with my daughter. There was a drunk couple hanging around the front very early in the morning when we left and our key safe was open when I went to put it in, again worrying.

Handy place to stay.
Pros:

Lovely staff.vey handy for visit to Beemish

Cons:

No food available on the days we were there. Door lock very awkward to operate. A new sink, plug and tap..both need adjustment. Please think about some hooks in the bathroom. ( and some hot water to the sink would be nice!)

Pros:

I've lost count of the time,s My husband and I have stayed here. It's very convenient for visiting my son and hos wife. It's a self check in with a code for a key safe. No one is onreception. But there if a phone number if you need assistance. The rooms are functional and clean. Comfy beds . With no one been on reception we always bring extra tea coffee sugar etc. The cleaners we met were lovely and did ask us if there's is anything we needed. Range,s next door is lovely place to eat . But its not open on a Monday or Tuesday. There's a one stop 5 mins walk if you need anything and a start bucks asda Aldi close by .

Cons:

Our room number 18. Has a table and chairs. The plastic chairs are not the comfiest so it would be a idea to get more comfortable chairs to sit on to have cuppa and read . Another small thing would be to have a extra lamp in the room rather then having the main light on. . There's are not critics but more personal preference. . Overall the room is comfortable clean and functional.

Pros:

We had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room itself was relatively clean, but unfortunately very humid. The window couldn’t be opened due to it being a fire exit, and the door also didn’t allow for ventilation, which made the stay quite uncomfortable.
The most disappointing part, however, was the check-out process. We were delayed for quite some time because the reception staff were unable to confirm our payment through Booking.com. While we understand that technical or system issues can happen, the situation was handled poorly. We were asked to pay again in full and then reclaim the money ourselves from Booking.com, which is not acceptable. I’m glad we refused to make a double payment.
This resulted in us being held up unnecessarily, with young children waiting in the car, while staff contacted their manager and tried to resolve the issue step by step.
Overall, while the room was passable, but inefficient handling at check-out left a negative impression. I hope the hotel has since addressed these issues for future guests.

Pros:

The staff were very welcoming they also suggested the restaurant next door and that was great. The room was very clean.

Cons:

In our room there was a green light in the center of the kitchen with the bed facing it. The light flickered all night and was extremely bright I barely got 3 hours of sleep. Me and my partner both looked around and flicked many switches and we couldn't get the light to turn off. Other than this we both had a really pleasant stay.
