I cannot make it clear enough what a dark, dingy, lonely, tatty hovel this is. As others have rightly said, it needs a total refurbish. It will need £300,000 at least throwing at it. Why have a bar which closes as soon as people get home from work? Crazy. Why have a reception if there is barely ever anyone there?... More

Let me try and be positive if i can, first. Lovely location, cheap, staff, if you can find anyone, friendly. Full stop. The hotel has simply gone to ruin. It desperately needs upgrading. Towels on the bedroom floor to cover 40-year old carpet. Decor, bathrooms and fittings straight from 1973. Horrible. Like the person reviewing yesterday said, the bar and... More

The place had seen better days but the bedding was very clean. There was a towel on the floor to cover the ripped carpet!! The worst part was there was nothing to eat or drink as the bar closed at about 6.30 and the restaurant was closed. No room service. Even the front door closes at 8 p.m. The TV... More

Having arrived at the hotel we hoped that decor and mould growing up the walls was not representative of the rooms ! Sadly it was nothing compared to what we found. Our family room has a broken chair leg at the dressing table, ripped cardpets, decor that was fit for a skip in the 1970's and to top it off,... More

Our party of 9 stayed here recently. True, it could do with a lick of paint, but the staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms, whilst in need of a bit of TLC, are very clean. Our evening meal was served in the function room. It was hot and tasty. Whilst I might not necessarily rush back, don't let some... More

Having read the reviews, we went in expecting the worst.......but with an open mind as always. As others have written, there are three sides to this place (1) The very shabby condition of the place, (2) the spotlessness of the hotel and (3) the fabulous staff. So, the place itself: threadbare carpets, floorboards visible, old screw holes in walls, and... More

I recently attended a family meal held here in the function room. After an initial mix up regarding menues and pre-ordering we found ourselves in the bar for a few drinks. We were later lead into a rather large function room set up for our meal. Initialy it seemed like rather a large space for about 14 people but we... More
