For the sake of your own sanity please ignore the 10/10 exceptional reviews. In fact ignore anything above a 2, and I’m being generous there. I stay (pre Covid) in about 150 nights a year in a hotel/ guest house, this is without doubt in the bottom three worst places I’ve been in the last 5 years, maybe 10. The host who met us was pleasant enough but that’s where any sense of anything good evaporated. The place was dirty, damp, at best in desperate need of paint, new carpet and mattress. You’d think that given the lack of trade recently any self respecting owner would spend the time to do something to improve the woeful state of the place. It was so bad that despite the late arrival in the cold and dark, for only the second time in 20 years of working away, I left the place that night, found somewhere else. In fact we had three rooms, I called my colleagues to say we’re off and the look of relief on their faces said it all. We high talked it within minutes to somewhere... anywhere.. else. My car would have been a huge improvement but fortunately, with smart tech so handy, we booked and paid for a Premier Inn, not too far away and at almost 1/3 the price this place charged. Keep the money, you need it more than me. But fellow travellers, do yourself a favour and ignore the fake reviews at your peril!
