10/10 Exceptional

Clean, friendly & comfortable.

Very welcoming from young lady at reception, room clean & comfortable with good shower, although could do with rubber safety mat as quite slippery. Good breakfast with quick service from same young lady, seems she was running the place single handed, a good jib shr was doing too. Would certainly stay again.

I will stay again

I have stayed here three times don’t forget to put your car registration in the car park. The back of the hotel is a lot quieter than the front Wi-Fi is good. Breakfast is nice and starts at 7 am.The only thing that needs to be sorted out are the windows I have to wedge them open with something. I will be staying again.

Maria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quirky

Overall the hotel is very comfortable. The breakfast was very good with various options as the hotel is next to the railway station. If you have a front facing room it can be somewhat noisy. A little bit strange that you were given a small bottle of milk for your room, I would rather see pre-packed small cartons or sleeves. The shower in my room was slightly damaged again. The hotel is a little bit quirky that the door is locked from 830 where you have to ring to get back in the main question is is it worth the money you could get a Premier Inn for the same price, but not as quirky as this hotel

Tay at you peril

Where do you start. Greeted well. Downhill from there. £10 for a cheese sandwich. (,pic). Room needed some maintenance. Windows wouldn't stay open. Toilet seat loose. Dressing table wedged between two walls with a radiator in front of it so yo can't open the draws. Gotta see it to believe it. Toated panini was nearly raw. Milk for tea in room with only herbal teas supplied. Could go on. Stay atyour peril. Staff member streaming with a severe cold handling food. Probably the worst hotel i have stayed in for a long year.

B

The bedroom was really nice, spacious and comfortable. We stayed in a Premier double. Breakfast service was sometimes a little chaotic; we didn't mind this in view of the training aspect of the hotel but it might put some people off. I think you need to buy in to the ethos of the hotel. Location excellent, right opposite the station.
