2/10 Poor

Avoid
Receptionist rude and barely looked up as she demanded credit card details for the prepaid room. Hotel is very tired and rooms smell musty and need a complete refurbishment from the 70s/80s decor. Stayed in December to be told heating in the room only comes on between 7 and 8 in the evening, after several phone calls to reception an electric heater was eventually supplied. No mattress protector on the bed, cover threadbare. Won't be staying again. Anyone giving this establishment 10/10 must have stayed in some real hovels and have no standards

Tired B&B
Basic budget hotel / B&B Slow service checking in whilst someone fixed a stapler (really?!) Room was very cold but there was an electric heater which I had to leave on all night, no heating in the bathroom. Quite tired looking - peeling vinyl on headboard, tears in curtains, mould on bath silicone etc.

4/10 Fair

I would not recommend this hotel.
Lady on reception was very welcoming. Check in was smooth. However, was called back as their system wasn’t working. My room was down graded from a queen size bed to a standard double bed. No manager on site to help. Room is so out dated, carpets are stained and dirty, mould in bathroom, bed was very uncomfortable. No fan in room. A lot of Mosquitos in the room and bathroom. Photos on website are from over 10 years ago. They do not have a gym as per their website. Definitely try to avoid staying here. The only good thing is they have a big car park.

6/10 Good

The staff & the food are great, really are. Unfortunately the hotel interior/ rooms are in need of a makeover. Some work on the cosmetics would improve the hotel greatly.

Room in need of some tlc
I've stayed here before and don't remember having a room (217) as poor as this one. Whilst the bed and pillows and desk area was fine, the carpet was almost worn out and the water pressure in the shower was pretty much a dribble. Turn the shower head upside down and the water all but stopped. However, the barman was good, waitresses good, evening meal was very nice as was breakfast.
