Moderate price, but worth no more. Must do better.
This older small hotel has adequate rooms but some negative aspects, particularly the catering. We avoided the poor menu for dinner. It looked like school lunches. We paid £12 each for breakfast and that was a mistake. Poor choices, inattentive staff and items run out at 8.30am and never replaced. Fruit juice machine running water, yogurt supply empty, only fruit tinned peaches, mushrooms like bullets, no pastries, croissants or similar. Very overpriced. Staff did not care when asked. Too busy she said. Otherwise no heating on a cold night, bed mattress very hard, people shouting in room opposite till after 4.00am. No ability to contact reception to complain.
Lovely Zen themed room, comfy bed, comfy pillows and lovely quality quilt. Lovely hot water and high pressure water. I got a lovely room on the GF...no complaints for the money I paid....but no evening food served as restaurant after breakfast is shut during non event days...so be prepared to get ubers or deliveroo etc as no restaurants within walking distance...but if you have a car you’ll find plenty of restaurants fairly close by.
...only Breakfast served.
Very dated hotel, strange rules on check in - photo id required was one - they asked for Passport number! Room had a desk but no chair. Bed was very hard. There were no mains sockets near the bed only on the wall opposite. Arrived late and Left early the next morning so didnt use the bar or restaurant.
From the outside the hotel looks tired and unwelcoming, inside the decor is very 1970s and it had a slightly menacing and hostile feel to it. I suspect it may be used to house people rather than just as a hotel.
The bed wasn't massively comfortable and I was woken by the fire alarm at 3.30am due to one of the residents apparently taking a shower!
The room and staff great value... however being on night medication and having sleep disturbed 2 nights in a row around 3am smoke alarms going off i have come away feeling unwell disappoint as wanted to extend stay untill these sleepless nights.

Cheap, but be prepared that it sacrifices a lot
I encountered issues that I don’t feel were resolved at all. Communication between staff isn’t great.
1- Keycard would often stop working so I’d often have to walk back to reception.
2- TV wouldn’t connect to the internet at all, and would often lose access to basic channels.
3- I had to push for my room to actually be cleaned after 6 nights (despite the policy being every 4 nights. When it was only the bed was made and dirty cups etc were just left.
4- The locks were changed during my stay, and no care was taken during the change. Sawdust was scattered all over my clothes. Nothing was offered to rectify this.
5- no food is available outside of breakfast which isn’t good enough.
