We were fortunate to have a huge room overlooking the grounds, huge bathroom, the decor was good it's just a shame that it's not been finished off very well, just small things like the bathroom door not fully shutting, toilet seat very loose, the step between the bedroom and bathroom not finished the grouting not completed ,but for what we paid we can't complain. The cleaning was ok until we pulled out the single bed to find crisp packets etc. Very thoughtful with cups , cutlery, bowls etc. Lovely grounds but a shame the tennis courts and pool were not maintained but that's a sign of the times.

I stayed for one night the room was basic but clean with a tv microwave towels kettle and tea and coffee. The bed was not very comfortable and there was no shower gel provided plus only 1 toilet roll left. On the positive side it was a cost effective way to stay so close to the railway station and town centre. There was no breakfast option but I just took a porridge pot. I would stay again if it was available for say a football match for a night. If you are on a tight budget it’s perfect

2nd time I've stayed here and the value for money is second to none. Whilst the rooms are basic, they still have a TV, kettle with tea and coffee and a fan heater should it get too cold. The most important aspect and what drew me back again is that everything is clean. A fresh towel and unopened soap provided, the bedding is crisp and spotless. At the end of the day it's a place to sleep, and that the owner obviously cares for cleanliness is obvious. Very friendly and helpful host. Bargain!

Nice location very close to the train station and a short walk to the town centre. The owners kept good communication on and before the day of arrival. Nice to see the Qibla direction provided in the room. The room was a good size, clean and the bed was comfortable.

There was a guest lounge which we only discovered in the morning, it would have been nice to know about the other facilities available on arrival.

There was plenty of parking and it was a super easy check-in/out.

Disappointing stay.

The room was clean, but the shared shower and toilet facilities were very small and there was no wash hand basin in the toilet!
Unfortunately there was a lingering smell of cooking, even on the second floor where our room was located.
Considering the price it wasn’t too bad as a bed for the night, but I won’t be coming back

By far my worst stay ever and ive travelled for work for years. It seemed more like a hostel rather than a bed & breakfast. The carpet looked dirty. I had a breakout of spots on my body by the 2nd day. I had a spider crawling all over tge bed & my clothes as I trued to get dressed. I stayed 4 nights & the bins were not emptied at all.

Decent bed, clean room, nice manager. Parking available free. Right next to teain station so within walking distance of distance stadium and away pub. Several rooms have shared bathroom/toilet. Hotel wasnt busy when i stayed so not a big issue and the room waa cheap so fine. Coffee and tea in the room was nice touch. Walls a bit thin, the guy in the room next to me snored like a train and made more noise than the actual trainline. I was only there a few hours to sleep so it didn't matter too much.

Served the purpose

The owner was incredibly polite and helpful.
The accommodation itself is \"tired\" but perfectly clean and served the purpose. For the price it was better than I was expecting and according to other reviews it superseded them. So can't really complain.
There was no dodgy hotel next door that some reviews had raised concerns about (think it might be in the middle of being developed, so was closed down). I felt safe enough walking back to the hotel late at night, the same as anywhere else in the country.
A 10 minute walk to the Quayside area in town which has lots of restaurants and bars and felt /looked like a nice place.
The room was very basic but provided just what was needed.
I could not hear the trains from the train station nearby, but was woken a couple of times by vehicles on the road going past.
There was no hot water in the basin (ensuite) but the shower was hot and there was plenty of hot water for that. So again, not complaints.
Provided with a towel, albeit a little on the small side but the more well know hotels also have that issue as well.
A kettle for tea and coffee making purposes plus a microwave if you needed one.
Plenty of off road parking which was free.
I visited as went to a local rugby festival which was about 10 minutes walk up the road, so all in all a good location.
