Liked: Staff & service
Staff were very amenable and friendly, room could do with an upgrade, broken and damaged furniture, sealant all over doorframe in bathroom, radiator needs bleeding
Wouldn't even give them a 1-star if possible. No one on site to speak with, except a man who said he didn't work there. No one answered the phone. Cold rooms, cold water, paid for breakfast, but it wasn't available, and again, no one was there....
Hotel room bland. Machine to check in wasn’t working. No one around to ask. When got into the room it was freezing. Bathroom freezing. Shower rubbish. Really not worth the money and won’t be staying again.
When done to reception I. Evening unhelpful and didn’t even apologise .

Very very very very poor, stood outside in the rain would be better than the showers, dirt dust and cobwebs in bedrooms, no bar and breakfast consisted of potted pineapple and a cheese tostie that you have to eat in your filthy room.

I have never known such an unmanned hotel, the reception desk was only open for 3hours per day - i arrived later in evening and only just caught someone on the desk. Although she was very helpful it was very unorganised and she had to call her manager regarding my booking as clear instructions had not been left for her. I did not receive any confirmation from the hotel when i booked and had to make several attempts to contact the hotel prior to my booking along with numerous attempts at calling the hotel but with no response. i find it hard to believe that a hotel can be run this way. The room itself was clean and very basic but served its purpose. My negative would be all based on the running of the bookings and felt that better management was needed.

Very comfortable room, spacious and clean.
If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to stay, a little out the way so need a car.
