Poor

The room I was allocated was sub standard. The bathroom was an old avocado suite style with rusty plugs and was damp. Lack of plug sockets close to a mirror made it hard to get ready in the morning. Very thin walls - I could hear my neighbours every move. Ridiculously hot as well despite the window being open and fan going. Very disappointing.

BSB Rest Zone.

We use the Hotel for BSB (British Super Bike) 15mins if Traffic is kind. Staff are 5* Food and service 5* The Salmon and I had the Bacon 🍔 WOW!! Reasonably priced. Bedroom adequate for our needs. Just a wee nit pick. Room 10. The Shower needed to be held as just needed a wee tighten up. Lovely Continental Breakfast. Keep up the good work. We are back in September. The bar is bouncing Saturday Evening. As noise doesn't bother us. Not a problem.

Okay for a night

Without sugar coating it, it was a filthy room, staff were great, food was nice, but the room looked nothing like the pictures online! Mouldy bathroom, and i was above the woman's toilets so i constantly heard the hand dryer going up until midnight.

Very disappointing. Little sleep.

Room was very small. Just wide enough for the double bed. Not enough room for a real door on the bathroom, just a sliding panel with no handle. Pillow had a plastic liner of some sort, so i awoke at 4am with damp hair and didnt go back to sleep. At 6am wafts if smoke started to come in the room from people smoking outside. Shower good. Breakfast good. Car parking spaces not wide enough for my car.

I cancelled the booking on Thursday. Apparently they still intend to charge me full price despite me giving nearly 3 days notice let alone 24 hours. I wouldn’t use them again ever. And I have used them many times before.
