The cost of the room (£141) did not equate to the standard of the room. Some lights didn’t work, poorly patched up decor, carpet didn’t look well cleaned, long established stains in the bath, the shower was outdated and it was extremely difficult to get a consistent water temperature - most of the time it was far too hot, no extractor fan in the bathroom, no full length mirror. Breakfast was uninspiring. Staff we encountered were all pleasant and helpful. Over all, very disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend at that price.

Woeful, just woeful

Dated doesn't cover how terrible this place is. No lights in the carpark or at the entrance from it and i nearly broke my neck trying to get in never mond the rat i saw. The place is falling apart and quite literally with the staircase to the top floor comimg away from the wall, should be condemned. Felt unsafe and unsecure. Ensuite extremely small, yellow, cracked sink, missing tap covers, dust and fluff on the toilet roll holders, carpet disgusting, light flicked when i plugged in my phone charger, door barely closed, blackput curtains were great but poorly fitted so a bright aurora around the whole thing. Breakfast was good but very small, 1 sausage, 1 egg, 1 small hashbrown, 1 bacon. Only good thing was the receptionist, very helpful.

This is a very budget guesthouse. It’s a bit hit and miss, a bit in need of renovation, not a nice entrance at the back (I thought U’d walked on to a building site) but the beds are comfortable, the linen clean, the snacks/fruit in the room are a nice touch, and the cooked breakfast is usually ok (if there isn’t a rush, then it can be very delayed).

Not staffed 24 hour, but the light above the entrace has been disconnected meaning at night your in the shadows. Arrived and my room unlocked and door ajar meaning someone could have already been in my room. Hair in the bath, lots of stains of the carpet and a nosiey fan are all reasons to not go. Breakfast was quick, but weatherspoons superior.

Just a old hotel. Serice is not good at all, took my card details for any damage in room, it never happened before, small box room with single bed and took £58 and that too is in bad condition. And the worse thing is said parking available when booking but when i arrived i have to park in the street. You have to book for the breakfast timing first. So bad experience, I wont recommend this to anyone
