This hotel is little better than third world. Very poorly furnished rooms, probably 1960. Dirty bathroom. Weeds all over the car park. Cupboard with no shelf. Just looks extremely tired and that nobody cares about guests.
We left after seeing the room and booked in at Bramley House Hotel which was excellent.
I will be seeking a full refund.
DO NOT STAY HERE.

After check in we were advised that we were in “The Residence” section of the hotel.
Upon entering we were greeted by filthy carpeted stairs leading up to our room. On opening the door we were then met by a vile smell…the room had clearly not been used/aired for some time. The carpet was covered in stains, the bed frame fabric was ripped, a freestanding chair was also covered in stains. All this before inspecting the bathroom….disgustingly dirty. Shower door was thick with dirt & limescale, black mould around the bath & taps, really not appealing.
My partner insisted that the room was changed.
This time we were in the main hotel. Albeit this was more agreeable but even so cleanliness was distinct in it’s absence. The sink didn’t drain properly & the shower door support was corroded with limescale once again.
This was a hot evening but the aircon unit had clearly had it’s day & was useless.
We had very little sleep & so was not a restful stay!
Breakfast…..a bit chaotic, continually running out of plates etc or elements of the cooked choices. Eggs were very greasy & the sausages of very poor quality.
Whole hotel is in a poor state of repair and there is no excuse for poor cleanliness.
I would definitely NOT recommend this hotel.
In my/our opinion this establishment would scrape a 1 star not the supposed 3 star it has been awarded.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and all the staff were friendly, helpful, and professional throughout our visit. The facilities were well maintained, and overall we were very happy with our stay.

The only issue we experienced was with the balcony. There were pigeons regularly staying there, and unfortunately a large part of the balcony was covered with pigeon droppings, making it difficult to use and enjoy the outdoor space. We love animals and understand that this can be difficult to control, but we feel the balcony could have been cleaned more thoroughly.

Apart from this, everything else was excellent, and we would be happy to stay here again.

Where do I start! Basically, I stay in hotels quite a bit, and this is my first ever negative experience since using hotel.com. The receptionist came across as unfriendly. While walking to my room, the hallway smelled like someone had been smoking in their room, and the smell lingered around the corridor. The carpets were dirty, with bits of small rubbish on the floor. Upon entering the room, I found the floor still dirty with small debris around. I went into the bathroom, which was very grimy; hopefully, you can see my pictures. I checked around the room, and there was dust and dirt everywhere; hopefully, the pictures will show you the dirt. I certainly didn't have my evening meal here; I was completely put off. For breakfast, all I wanted was scrambled eggs on toast, but I was told we only do fried eggs. The glass I picked up nearly cut my tongue as it was badly chipped. The shower was awful, with no power, and it just dripped out; for me, it was terrible. I will 100% never stay here again. When leaving in the morning, I wasn't even asked, \"How was your stay?\" I simply gave him my room card and walked out; I didn't say anything, nor did the receptionist.

The only positive was the empty free car park at the hotel; I wonder why it was empty!

The overall feeling is that the hotel is shabby and rundown. We rejected our first room as one of the beds was sagging in the middle, but we were offered another, and thankfully this came with a better bathroom. Everywhere felt cold and we were unable to get any heat in our room, not acceptable in February. A ceiling light wasn't working, leaving half the room in darkness: we were told it couldn't be fixed until the next day, after we left. The pillows were mean and lumpy, the hairdryer was missing, and there was a notice telling us not to stand undressed at the window as it overlooked a primary school! Breakfast was poor and the service brought to mind Fawlty Towers/Mrs Overall. I wish I could find something positive to say, we were just glad it was only one night. Very disappointing.

Outdated rooms and quality

The rooms were clean and big, but very outdated. The bathroom finishing especially was not up to standard, with quite a lot of repairs required. The bathtub kept leaking after every shower.

We have stayed at the hotel every few weeks in the last four months to visit family living locally. Although the hotel needs a little bit of work in certain areas ie a little bit of refurbishing, we find it to be close to the high street and has private parking. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need for a short break including air conditioning and tea and coffee making facilities. The hotel has a restaurant downstairs and although the menu is small, the food is really tasty and reasonably priced.
The breakfast is inclusive in the price and there is a good choice of cereals, fruits, fruit juices and a cooked breakfast buffet.
The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful and always polite.
We have met Alfie, a member of staff on each occasion we have stayed and we think he is a valuable member of staff. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he can be found at the check in desk, behind the bar and helping in the kitchen.
He’s always very welcoming, polite and extremely helpful, a great member of the hotels staff.

The room was dirty, dust every where, the toilet was dirty, needed some bleach. Mold, around the bath, wardrobe handle was broken, and the balcony door was left open and was really hard to shut it.

We have stayed here before so this influenced our choice this time. The room was very spacious and had air-con which was nice.
The cleanliness left a lot to be desired though. When the beside lamps were on the thick dust on the walls and the lamp base was very clear to see, as was the cobwebs and grime in the corners of the room. The floor had not been vacuumed either. The bed base had some ominous stains running down it too. It was a real shame that the cleanliness let it down.
The staff were very friendly and the check in was a breeze. The breakfast was delicious. We would stay again but the room we were in definitely needed a deep clean unlike the previous one we had which was in the main building.
