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.

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

It is very unpleasant very unprofessional,
I booked the hotel ,after I’ve paid the money
They called me and said the room is booked by someone else,I then had to book another room and wait 10 days for the refund.
Very unhappy .

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.

Checkin restricted
Hotel was advertised as 24/7 reception when booked
After being stuck in traffic I arrived late, to find no way of accessing my paid accommodation. No support from customer services or the hotel
You must checkin between the set hours
No staff after 9pm
