6/10 Good

The room itself is a bit tired, carpets not very pleasant, wouldn't necessarily put me off booking again but this is more just feedback. Everything worked ok, although a bit surprised to have to pay £10 to park in the hotel's own car park.

2/10 Poor

Blood on carpet and walls. Carpet was filthy and wet in places and net curtains need a good wash. I won't be coming back.

4/10 Fair

I've stayed at the hotel previously, but not for years. Unfortunately the hotel has not had any money spent on it and it is in need of a refresh. Whilst the staff were lovely, the room itself was tired and very cold, I did not have a comfortable night's sleep at all.

4/10 Fair

This hotel houses asylum seekers and vulnerable adults as part of a contract with local council. I arrived with no cars in carpark. Kitchen and bar closed. Single young men walking around the inside and grounds with no purpose. After questioning reception they admitted the above. If I had know I wouldn’t have stayed. They took that choice away from me and left ME vulnerable as a paying customer.
