Disappointed

4.0

Budget hotel with Budget facilities. No food, only bar snacks. Sole member of staff on duty was a barmaid. Well presented bedroom in the attic. Only natural light by a Velux window which wouldn't completely shut. The roof leaked because of biblical rain & unable to change rooms as fully booked. Bed had to be moved to avoid the leak. Not ideal!! In fairness the barmaid was as helpful as could be with the offer of a room, if available, at a sister hotel but no guaranteed parking and by then had been drinking. On the plus side, nice well stocked bar with good selection of ales.

Very dark and gloomy

6.0

Nice staff, friendly and helpful. Room was very dark with a very dark ceiling, even with blinds open . Open electrics, covered by a black bag, very dusty, like it hadn’t been used for a while and then not cleaned properly. Bathroom was clean and had a great shower but also very dark . One mirror in bathroom with poor lighting, no mirrors in bedroom to do makeup and hair . Nice little kitchen area with tea and coffee facilities. Bed was comfy enough, just very soft. Good facilities for price

The check in and out was really quick and sammy behind the bar was so helpful regarding taxis etc and a bonus the pub stayed open until we came back from the gig.

Bearing in mind the cheap price it was satisfactory. Bed was VERY low and whilst a double it was tight up against a wall on one side and less than a foot on the other, so would not have been at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Bathroom small but good. No indication of food available on site but we eat out anyway. Staff friendly, some road noise as needed window open as it was hot. Not sure why there was also a big sink in the room. Overall ok but would not want to pay more.
