Poor accommodation
Staff was polite and helpful.
Bathroom was disgusting. I couldn’t use it. The selling in my room had a hole which was covered with tape
The smell, the dirt was just ……. I can’t find description for that.

It is very unpleasant very unprofessional,
I booked the hotel ,after I’ve paid the money
They called me and said the room is booked by someone else,I then had to book another room and wait 10 days for the refund.
Very unhappy .

Nervous to visit after reading reviews. However, there is a lot of refurbishment going on. The downstairs looks fabulous and the car park/outside space is being worked on. The room was ropey, window held open with a block of wood and a pane of glass missing. Curtains not hanging correctly and a socket out. But, we arrived when they were busy and so checking in was delayed. The staff apologised for wait, and the room! The breakfast was absolutely banging and the staff were exceptional. Helpful with questions and went out of their way, which more than made up for the room.

Station hotel.
The curtains were not hung correctly and left a gap between the curtains, there was a Paine of glass missing from the window, boarded up but still daylight visible around the edge. One and only time we will stay there.

Checkin restricted
Hotel was advertised as 24/7 reception when booked
After being stuck in traffic I arrived late, to find no way of accessing my paid accommodation. No support from customer services or the hotel
You must checkin between the set hours
No staff after 9pm

Staff great. Room not so great.
Firstly I want to say that I got a warm welcome by staff. My disappointment was that my room was cold and generally uninviting. It also looked like is was in desperate need of refurbishment. My biggest gripe though was that the lock on my door did not work so I had to leave my luggage in my car when I went out for the evening. In the morning I was looked after very well and enjoyed a lovely breakfast. So the staff were great but the room was very poor.

This pub should not have accommodation!! The room required a total refurbishment. Thread bare carpet furniture falling apart and inadequate. Glass pane in window missing so boarded up. Towels supplied were like cardboard and no facilities to dry them. Corridors also in a mess.
Took forever to check in.
We wanted to leave immediately but due to a horrendous journey we were exhausted.
Woken at 3am by doors slamming and people shouting which went on for over an hour.
Very unsafe property to stay in as no emergency number or anyone to contact on the Saturday evening.
Guests should be paid to stay there absolutely awful

Propery is a Green King pub with some rooms above. The pub, and the food in the pub are fine.
The rooms could be a set for a 1950s film.
There is a notice which says the rooms are shortly to be completely refurbished.
However the price is very good value considering free parking, and a free english breakfast.
