Not a luxury stay but okay for bed for the night. Good location as food places within walking distance. A small cosy room, shower did not drain well and had not much pressure, no bedside lamps.

Okay

Initial impressions are the front of the hotel looks old and unwelcoming. Upon entry the staff are friendly and welcoming. Our room was a good size with a very large king size bed with white clean sheets. Ensuite had a shower and toilet and clean white sheets. Had a quiet confortable good night sleep. The hotel is run down, the room is okay. For the price i paid would return but if paying

I only booked this because the Ox Hotel was the only thing available in the area on a Saturday night. The hotel is old fashioned but very clean, they're renovating parts of it, our room was dated but everything was functioning and we had what looked like a new bed with high quality linen. For the price we paid, I really can't quibble. Would I stay again, yes, if the price was low, I wouldn't pay anymore than we did.

Don’t judge a book by its cover !

The hotel is tired but do not let that fool you. What it lacks in appearance it makes up for in good service and friendliness. The room is dated but clean and the linen was spotless. The food was excellent. The man on reception also served at the bar could not do enough for you. The hotel is quirky but for the price and a decent nights sleep it was good enough for us
