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.

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.

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.

Mixed feelings

I am a little torn here, the accomodation part of the building is aweful, the rooms are very basic and i had black tape on my ceiling covering a hole, the shared bathroom was a health risk, with black mould everywhere shower in a slippy bath. but the service was amazing and the land lady could not have been any nicer, amaing full english. so once renovated i would happily stay again

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.

Depressing!

So depressing!! Reeked of old and cigarettes, furniture and fittings looked decades old. Very basic rooms, shared toilet didn’t have toilet paper in the morning. Single glazed windows and the traffic can be heard so loud. The price at the desk of the pub was also £25 cheaper than hotels.com

Did not explain that need a keycode to get in (arrived back at 12.30am and was locked out of hotel, had to climb in through a top floor window!). Very noisy, both inside and out, so found it very hard to sleep.

I would not recommend this hotel to anyone! Our room was disgusting, ceiling coming down in bathroom, bare wires in bathroom where there should have been a light, broken bath panel and mould around bath, dried blood on wall and base of bed, kettle lid was broken and held together with cable ties, thick dust on skirting boards, window would not shut properly so couldn’t lock it. No one around to make a complaint!!

Property was quite cheap. There were no toiletries, and the hot tap was not connected to the mains. Someone had smashed a hole in one of the internal walls. The sash window didn't work, but a stick was provided so the window could be wedged open. It would have been better if sticks of differing lengths were provided so that the window opening could be varied in size.

The room was falling apart, the pub downstairs is lovely. Stayed 2/3 weeks ago for 1 night, recieved a parking fine for £100 for parking in their car park even though they advertise parking included and they take your vehicle registration when you check in. I messaged the hotel about this and was just ignored. Absoloutely disgusted, advertising free parking for hotel guests when that is not the case. Leaveing me with a £100 fine to appeal and most likely have to end up paying. Wouldnt reccomend anyone to stay here and most definitely wont be going back.

Very disappointing

Check in was smooth and easy. The walls in my room were dirty, the carpet was very old,worn, and had holes in it. The overall decor was very dated, tired , and not clean. The tv had no remote. Overall I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of my room and also the decor. They had a sign in the bathroom that said “ please bear with us while we make upgrades to the decor” For £45 I expected so much more.
