the reviews sold me when deciding to stay here. I ignored the bad ones as they were 2 years old but they are still true I'm afraid. the shower in my room ran only very hot or boiling so when I reported this i was told to shower in a different room and return to mine! and then i was branded a babycham drinker as i cant shower in boiling water (yes this didn't go unnoticed) never happened to me in 20 years as a frequent business traveller. the navvies that stay here (as it is so cheap) leave like a heard of elephants very early and its difficult to get back to sleep on the cheapest mattress in the world. you could probably get some drugs from those smoking it by the back door though? brown towels and black bed linen also a bit of a concern, why would you do that? White goes with everything (before you say it) it was clean though.
Had a really enjoyable 3 day stay here whilst wait to move in to my new property, the staff were really helpful and it’s a really nice atmosphere in the down stair bar, the rooms are nice and spacious, it’s quite and I didn’t hear any noise at weekend from the bar downstairs.
Budget accommodation that is fine for short stays. More suited to couples or solo guests than families. Very convenient for the motorway network. My room was clean if a little tired. Generous tea and coffee tray. I could hear the live music into the evening but when you book a room over a pub at a weekend you have to expect noise and it didn't particularly disturb me. Staff were helpful and friendly and the pub itself was a happy place. For the cost of the room it represents good value.
