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.

Needs a good clean

The place was very weird and quiet. Nice location but no one around. Restaurant empty. No cafe for drinks or coffee. Room was ok but surrounding outdoor corridors and courtyard dirty and full of cigarette butts. Place needs a good clean. Was provided with a fan in the room which was handy as room quite stuffy and hot.

Nice towels in bathroom but nowhere to put them. Bedroom a bit sparse as was the staff. Lucky to get a staff member in the afternoon to check us in as electronic check in did not work. Opinion on hotel influenced by our saturday Times disappearing (clearly set aside and wanted) but room bins not emptied and room not serviced. Hope houskeeping enjoyed the crossword?

The rooms have been partially refurbished, so could do with a full refurb. Should be an option to dine in for breakfast rather than a takeaway breakfast.

A little odd….

Admittedly, I didn’t check the small print regarding the very limited Reception hours, but the place was completely deserted when we arrived, with only a couple of cars in the acres of car park, making the £2.50 parking charge unnecessarily cheeky. No reply to calls initially & when we eventually found our way in - the front door is really stiff and needs a hefty push - after a 5 hour drive with elderly parents, early check-in, wasn’t apparently available. Another guest arrived at the same time and, when he’d worked out the entry process, he managed to check in early. Still virtually deserted when we returned 6 hours later after a family event locally, but the self-service check worked, provided you still have your QR code and booking reference handy. Food at the Indian restaurant was excellent. 20% food discount presumably for hotel guests, although they don’t serve alcohol, which was a pity because a cold beer would have gone down really well after a long day. Rooms were clean and comfortable although no kettle in one of our 2 rooms and, although the bathrooms were clean, neither shower worked adequately with either a dribble of cold, or pulses of scolding hot water being the only options. Obviously relatively recently refurbed with attempts to modernise the check-in process, but it just felt a bit lacking and impersonal.

Nothing to like or recommend this hotel. It was sad depressing and completely soulless. The exterior areas were dirty and unkept as well as the lobby and general reception area. We were shown to a room which had not been made up, soiled bed linen strewn around along with obvious previous occupation. A moody person reluctantly offered us another room which although serviced was nevertheless dated, tired and generally unwelcoming. The “breakfast to go” was hurriedly prepared and did not represent value for money as well as being tasteless. Avoid this hotel at all costs

The guy on reception was nice but the room was ok and the bathroom a bit scruffy.very strange water pressure issues to much via the taps but hardly any through the shower. It wouldn't take much to make this into a really nice hotel.

This hotel is very good for someone driving and looking for one night stay. The room is clean and confortable. We had problem with the check in timing. We were told we could come at 15:00 but no one was there. We had to come back at 16:30. Breakfast also is an issue: it is a breakfast to go, no restaurant to seat. You take your back and go back to eat it in your room. Same every day. It is a bit disapointing. Staff is trying her best with the option she has.

Poor / Average

The receptionist was amazing, very welcoming and helpful. She delivered me a fan as the room was hot. The bed was clean but the room has been poorly decorated, builders have not finished off well and remnants of paint on floor and doors was unsightly. The water wasn't running well, no pressure, and cold!! So I couldn't have a hot shower. Disappointing.

This place should be listed as a motel not a hotel. There is no bar and the restaurant does not serve alcohol or allow BYO. The is no breakfast as advertised so that was a waste of 30pound. Staff were hardly around and unhelpful. Do not recommend

Basic

An extremely average hotel. No staff on reception so self check in. Room very basic and felt a bit old fashioned and unclean. Water pressure in shower very low, almost not worth having a shower. Only one pillow per person on the bed and no spares or anyone on reception to ask. Fine for one night.

The whole check in process, the absence of any staff and the state of the room which was full of dead insects lead me to driving 3 hours home rather than sleep there. Stay away from this terribly run hotel
