    The shower could maybe have had better waterflow but it worked adequately - hot flowing water came out!. As I said, it did the job at the price we paid so OK with us. Nothing else!

    The beds were clean and comfortable and the shower worked. I knew what I was buying at the paypoint and that's what we received. The place is a bit dated but when you're asleep that has no impact. Set your expectations in line with what you're paying and then proceed accordingly. The good thing was the midday checkout. It meant that without pressure we could do our Parkrun at 9.00, take a breakfast at a nearby Premier Inn and get back and shower without the pressure of a 10.00 checkout. Good start to the day before heading off to Croft for motor racing.

    Located on a busy main road. Dated aluminium glazing with secondary but not noise proof. Decor, tired and dated but clean and comfortable. Disappointed that no shower gel, in bathroom which would have expected for a room, costing just less than £100 for the night. No breakfast option until 10am, on Sunday morning, until neighbouring pub opened.

    Little, apart from staff.

    It was basic and only stayed one night, so felt it met our requirements, the place appears old outdated and run down, the towels were marked, but you get what you pay for and it was relatively cheap, parking location, staff, etc was all good. lift was broken.

    Bathroom light constantly flickering on and off when it is a relatively simple procedure to change a fluorescent bulb. Made it impossible to see in the bathroom at night without leaving the bathroom door open and switching on the bedroom lights to see by.

    Basic but comfortable enough.

    Maybe im fussy but bed was a little stiff on stiff side, after mentioning it, not much could be done. a topper would have been nice. noise coming from bin vans outside in the morning which i didnt expect with keeping the window slightly open., no biggy but woke me up. people were noisy at night but thats not the hotels fault. curtains were not blackout, not great if doing a night shift. All issues i got used to but first night wasnt nice.

    nice location, free parking, easy checking in and out. good deal for ensuite room. central heating was nice which is a rarity nowadays they put it on full.

    The pillow had a cigarette smell.

    The beds were comfortable, clean sheets and the bedroom was spacious. Although there was a fan in the room, it was an extremely hot night and the fan wasn't sufficient to cool down the room, even with the windows open.

    No shampoo or shower gel in the bathroom although I understand they may have been available from reception. No hairdryer but again I believe o r may have been available from reception. I usually have my own with me but on this occasion I forgot. It’s a minor issue & didn’t spoil my stay. Also no breakfast facilities but the staff directed me to a Morrison 5 mins away so all was good.

    Clean, great choice of TV channels, comfortable.

    Towels needed replacing - had holes in them and had marks on them (which hadn’t come out in the wash). The property could do with some updating.

    Located right next door to a pub where you get reasonably priced food. Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was a good size.

    No shampoo/body wash but my own fault for not planning better. Couldn't sleep until after midnight and someone left their dog in their room and went out and it was barking until very late! Wasn't alot the hotel staff could do Very dated, could certainly do with a spruce up, new decor, carpets etc.

    Rooms had a fan, and tea making facilities. Great to be able to travel with my dogs!
