    Unfit for human habitation. Only waited 20minutes then left. Absolutely filthy and smell of dampness throughout hotel . Bed unchanged and faeces in toilet. No towels, toilet paper, toiletries. Window didn't close and was held together with tape. Room door didn't close properly. Wallpaper torn and patches of bare plaster with dampness and mould on wall. Windowsill covered in dead insects. Previous occupants tissues in bed. TV balanced on top of wardrobe unsecured. Absolutely disgusting. Worst hotel we have ever seen.

    Very very unhygienic. Management very unhelpful. We could not stay at this property because of the state the room and bathroom was in, I’ve never seen a place as dirty. Complained to the man who was in charge who said we could have a full refund, however this was not the case and we did not receive any kind of refund.

    Do not recommend this property to anyone, it was absolutely disgusting. The room and bathroom was the most dirtiest room I have ever seen.

    The carpets need a good shampoo clean, and decor needs attention. But as I said before, businesses like theirs need guests to make improvements

    The owner works hard and you can tell they care for their staff. The trouble I think they have is that some of the rooms require a bit of TLC, bit they need the guests to stay, to be able to reinvest. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and offered to cook food for the family. They were helpful in showing us to our rooms, and we just wish we'd had chance to meet Dora the dog. We are a big family and the hotel did well to accommodate us all, the owner seemed kind and didn't get angry when someone set the alarm off at 5am. The hotel itself has great potential, and you can see they are doing there best, competition is rife. The building is too nice to see fall the same way as some of the other hotels.

    Unfortunately was very disappointed for me and my family. We arrived to hotel where we were taken to the room. Once we were in the room drop the bags and see a dirty room. Used milk pods in the coffee basket,stickers from primark clothing on pillows,hairs inside of the bed,dirty duvet(fresh stain look like vomit or so),poop on the toilet,hanger under the bed,gummy bag under bed. After all spoke with manager where I was told that I would get a refund.Didn’t happen to far!

    Nothing good to say about this property!

    Could feel the springs in the mattress. The windows was no good and let the wind come threw. There was no heating on in December it was cold. They provided me with two heaters one that's ment to have legs on. So every time it got warm it would turn off. And one that made lots of noise I felt it was un safe. The bathroom was not clean and needed updating. It was to cold to even think about taking a shower. One of the curtains was nailed up and bunk beds was in front so couldn't even open curtain..I messaged to say it was cold they told me it was 14° I had two kids in the room and my disabled mum..we went down stairs in to the lounge the windows was open and there was chicken just sat in the window. We was to ask the guy in the hotel to turn the heating on. All the lights was off and we couldn't find the hotel as not very well signed. We ended up leaving. I was scared that my kids would got hurt as the wardrobe was so unsafe . Trying to get our money back as I have proof of all this. I would not recommend

    Staff did try to help but facilities was not good
