Worth a stay

We spent 2 nights at The Vicarage - very pleasant experience. Friendly welcome very informative. Good choice at Breakfast - nothing too much trouble. Did not have evening menu as was visiting family in the area. Rooms reasonable size - also bathroom - shower could have been better - internet not great but overall very good stay - would return.

The staff were helpful and genuinely nice, especially at breakfast! The room was not value for money, in my opinion, and breakfast was an extra cost when we booked through Expedia.

There is a significant mismatch between the social media photos of this property and rooms and the reality. The bathroom in our room Was particularly poor- mould around the bath, rust all over the bin, marks on the door and generally a very low standard. Marks on the walls in the bedroom, random hangers in the wardrobe…felt very budget and yet, far from a budget price. The outside eating areas are overlooking the car parks and by a very noisy road. Really disappointing. The staff however were lovely and extremely helpful.

Thin mattresses, tired room

This hotel was right on the route I needed to be on, and in that sense it was great. However, despite my warning them of my late arrival, I had to wander around and find someone to ask to check in. Staff were very dismissive. The room was really hot, happily they had a fan. The radiator was off, but the pipe on the wall was basically another radiator! The biggest issue was that the mattress was old/cheap and very thin. The duvet was extremely cheap polyester. These things combined made it rather uncomfortable. I would not stay here again - there's a Travelodge nearby that will be more comfortable.
