Jack at reception was absolutely superb, he’s a credit to the hotel. Bed was broken so we used the suitcase stand under the mattress.

Basic but good value
The hotel is dated, but considering the price it was great. The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and the shower was hot with plenty of water. It has ample free parking and a 24 hour desk for late check in.

Outside there is no reference to Ox hotel, had to double check it was the right place at reception. The guy on reception was very helpful. Parking is good, give registration to reception and its free for guests.
The room was basic with plain white walls and a few paint marks on the carpet, big bed, but the bedding wasn't fresh, as if it had been slept in before. We got the pillows changed as they didnt smell fresh, the replacement pillows were ok.
Breakfast was good, buffet type with reasonable choice.
If the bed was fresh and room cleaner my rating would have been higher.

The Ox Hotel is fabulous value for money.
The huge cooked buffet breakfast included vegetarian options.
Jack the staff member was so helpful.
We could walk to great takeaway options.
The room was clean and comfortable and at least I could have a great bath!
Worth every penny.
