Bad dog smell, greasy seats. Net curtains in bedroom in shreds, no credit card facilities, all in all not a good place to stay, in actual fact we felt overdressed in our casual clothes. Food was probably the best part but even then we have had better

I admit there is some clutter around,but the owners hearts are... More

We stayed here in the summer and sadly I can only agree with the negative reviews. The bad dog smell, the piles of stuff all over the hotel, the cleaning fluid and chemicals outside our bedroom, the young lad who seemed to be connected with the hotel slumped outside the front door smoking(he did move when asked!) and the fact...

we are a couple in our 40s from cambridge. When we arrived the owner greeted us he was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. you were made to feel like it was Home from Home, which made you feel very relaxed, as you wasn't just a room number. The staff were ever so friendly, they could't do more to... More

Wonderful hotel if you are a dump rat. This hotel could be such a lovely place if the owners got off their backsides, pulled together and cleaned up. My friends and I stayed last week. Toilet seat missing. Handles missing off windows. Room lock broken so no room security. No water in shower. Bed and other household junk blocking first... More

When I saw a review that there was a smell of dogs I thought it would be okay, but the entrance hall and the staircase has on overwhemling smell of dogs that made me feel sick. Don't get me wrong I love dogs, but this smell is terrible. The place is run down, and the sun blinds give an appearance... More

Sadly - the photos must be years out of date, particularly the outside and bar area. Clutter everywhere and be careful stepping over the dogs, and thats inside .Dining room really gloomy and piles of clutter at the back. Didn't want to risk a dinner as the owner/chef never looked as if he had combed his after getting up, never... More

Felt like we were waiting for a skip to arrive as all the rubbish was piling up in the corridors. Can't remember how many TV's were in the way, old beds by the emergency exits, horrendous smell as you arrive, hair (someone elses!) in the shower, peeling wallpaper, dusty, dirty, smelly. Definitely in need of a complete refurb. Sheets were... More

The Cecil Court is run down in need of refurbishment. The room we had was was tiered the bathroom was old. The toilet seat was proped up against the wall, the shower was like a garden spray, all needs riping out and starting again.
