It’s Bulls..t. Do not stay here. Worth £20

Old run down pub that needs a lot of TLC. first impressions was to be asked Ridley if I wanted to check in. Then they carried on moaning about other workers. Called me on the day to let me know that had a function on. Failed to say it was directly below room. Dirty bathroom and food was very poor standard. Never going back.

Had to wait well over 5 mins for the person on reception to complete something else on their systems, before she was able to deal with me. There was no ability to get any food at 21.30, including snacks from the bar as awaiting next delivery.

Not sure where to start in the bathroom the fan doesn’t turn off so was on all night the toilet flush was not working even if you finally did get it to go the sound from the pipe work was terrible. The carpet felt like you're feet was sticking to it and the place had a funny smell everywhere you went.

Not a great stY

I booked 4 rooms for my husband and 3 others. On line the rooms looked ok for the cost. However my husbands bathroom was pretty naff and no one had hot water in the morning for a Shower. When they advised this upon check out the lady just said there wasn’t any yesterday either 😳. Not Really what you want to hear …a partial refund would probably have helped redeem the hotel.
