Both the website and external appearance of this hotel are very misleading. Although the lounge/bar area is acceptable and inviting even, it appears their budget didn't stretch to covering the actual accommodation. Following the nauseatingly patterned carpet upstairs and dogding several spiders large enough to consume a small child, we entered our room to find a decor even the 1970s would be ashamed of. There was a large cigarette burn in the duvet cover, suicidal electrical wiring, a wooden bog cover (attached only one one side, so don't hit it at speed) and a shower designed for an oompaloompa or anyone of similar stature (and the shower head - mounted perculiarly on the side wall rather than the back wall - should be used at a precise angle of 48.3 degrees otherwise the flow of water ceases). My friend found blood on her sheet, and the unsettling discovery of an impression of a head in her pillow made recently by persons unknown.
Reporting the temperamental water flow to the hotel manager, we were confronted with the most appalling customer service we've ever encountered - total disinterest and a hostile manner. If this review convinces even one person to reconsider booking a room in this hotel of horrors, I will die a happy man.

I, too, wish that I had read the trip advisor comments before booking this hotel. I was foolishly seduced by the pretty picture of the outside of this "hotel", and suffered similar experiences as the other correspondents. Fortunately we managed to park in the little lane behind the hotel, (this was the only good thing about the whole stay!). In the room, the TV and the trouser press were both wired from the same plug, the pillows (1 per person) were very thin and the room was dark and airless. The table on which the tea and coffee was positioned was covered with a bath mat!!!The bathroom was nothing special, poorly decorated with grubby chipped tiles and a shower that was difficult to adjust to the correct temperature. Breakfast! Now that was amazing! It was served by one girl who was out of the room for so long that I am convinced that she was actually cooking the full English, which had the slimiest runny egg that I have ever had the misfortune to eat. The poor girl was trying her hardest, but was out of her depth. I had to ask for refills to the milk jug, orange juice jug, hot water jug and coffee jugs. The heavy hot water jug was positioned in such a place at the edge of the table that it could only be lifted by the left hand. Surely if an hotel is to provide a self-service breakfast they should at the very least have a decent well-stocked selection of foodstuffs. There was no bread available, no rolls, no croissants, no fresh fruit (advertised on the menu board0, no pastries, and no marmalade to be found in the conserves basket. All in all a very unsatisfactory experience.

It's times like this when I realise how important it is to write reviews. I just wish I had read Anna Parry's review on this site. She was spot on!!

Room might have been ok 20 years ago but now worn out which makes the website photos very misleading.
We asked to change room due to the noisy fan outside and the layer of dust in the room but the alternative offered was worse!

I'm sure the above is enough to warn you to stay away but if not keep in mind that the breakfast was lousy, there is no parking nearby and the television did not work properly.

One to avoid

This hotel needs a complete refurbishment to bring it up to even a 1* standard.
The rooms are grubby with little natural light. The furnishings are ancient and we did not use the electrical appliances for fear of being blown up.
There was even exposed elecrical wiring above our bed which incidentally was a lumpy uncomfortable double.
Breakfast was very poor also with limited choice and when we arrived at 9.30am, juice (limited to watered down cheap orange juice) and coffee had run out. One couple who arrived for breakfast 5 minutes after the cut off time of 9.45am (on a weekend) were told that the cookers had all been put off so they could not have a cooked breakfast - they didnt miss much though!
When we complained to the owner about the sub-standard room, he was rude and dismissive and made all sorts of excuses.
Take our advice, do not waste your money staying here!
