I've never stayed in a very inexpensive hotel for 35 to 40 years. This place was a very surprising little jewel, helpful staff, clean amenities. If a little dated, a nice place to stop, I paid less than 50 pounds for bed and breakfast, the full english breakfast was excellent. The staff were lovely. And I can only recommend this place for a cheap, cheap hotel. Stay.

This place is a little gem. The service is brilliant. The rooms are great and dont be put off by a shared bathroom. The one I used had the finest power shower I have ever seen.

Good stay for the price... Bit weird

Overall experience was mixed. Upon arriving I was greeted by a friendly owner/manager who took me upto my room, passing the enormous fishtank (🤔) and gave me a quick layout of the place. Leaving me to it I was given the choice of when I wanted my breakfast the next morning which was good 👍

Unfortunately from there on in, the experience deteriorated... There was food and a bottle of coke (see photos) left from the previous occupant, no toiletries were provided for a shower, bed and floorboards were extremely creaky and when the room next door turned in bed it shook my own bed.
I expected noise from the pub downstairs but didn't expect it to be exactly as loud as it was. Biscuits provided were out of date by the time I finished my 3 night trip and the best thing about the traditional breakfast was the toast and cereal beforehand.
Accommodation providers were friendly and location was pretty good however shame the rest let it down.

However, the breakfast is delicious and included, the location is very convenient, and the staff are friendly.

Cornish visit.

This was our first time using this website. The hotel was basic, We were not asked about what we required for breakfast. My wife does not eat a cooked breakfast normally. The breakfast was good, nice bacon, eggs but the sausages were not the best. There was no soap either in the shower or. toilet. The toilet had a leak on the outflow which l repoorted.

I was given room 6. The bedding was definitively not clean as there was a bad smell from bed sheets and pillows. One pillow had dry white spots on it. The carpet was dirty. There was also a spiderweb. I didn't stay in the hotel in the end as couldn't go to bed with that terrible smell from the bed. I left the hotel late in the evening after arranging alternative accomodation for myself.

Good value for money with full english breakfast. Was on a main road so the young bikers going by were a bit annoying over revving their bikes.
It was a shared separate shower and toilet both looking modern as if they had both been renovated recently there was only two of us staying so it wasn't an issue. The one thing i did not like was the black coloured sheet on the bed, all shetts should be white for obvious teasons.

Not good.

The rooms are above a pub but I must say it wasn’t noisy. The carpets, fireplace, ledges and edges all dirty with dust and grime. Many grimy corners as well. Smells funny as well. The day I arrived I was so embarrassed I started looking for another hotel but none was available at that short notice .
The breakfast was also the worst. Don’t let me get started on that. One star hotel. I wish I can get my money back
Place needs renovations and modernisation. Shared toilet but it was clean. The overall smell of the place is just not good
Needs airing out. And please don’t try any adult stuff on the squeaky beds. Tip, lay the pillows on the floor

I found the hotel to be far more basic than I expected on a site like Expedia.
The whole expreience was of a fairly run-down property with a cheery lady who showed us to our rooms and supplied us with a good breakfast.
I had intended to have our evening meal elsewhere so did not investigate that option - but did not see any reference to one.

It met our basic need - somewhere to sleep in a warm room and have a breakfast - so we achieved our aims
