We stayed here in the summer and sadly I can only agree with the negative reviews. The bad dog smell, the piles of stuff all over the hotel, the cleaning fluid and chemicals outside our bedroom, the young lad who seemed to be connected with the hotel slumped outside the front door smoking(he did move when asked!) and the fact...

we are a couple in our 40s from cambridge. When we arrived the owner greeted us he was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. you were made to feel like it was Home from Home, which made you feel very relaxed, as you wasn't just a room number. The staff were ever so friendly, they could't do more to... More

Wonderful hotel if you are a dump rat. This hotel could be such a lovely place if the owners got off their backsides, pulled together and cleaned up. My friends and I stayed last week. Toilet seat missing. Handles missing off windows. Room lock broken so no room security. No water in shower. Bed and other household junk blocking first... More

When I saw a review that there was a smell of dogs I thought it would be okay, but the entrance hall and the staircase has on overwhemling smell of dogs that made me feel sick. Don't get me wrong I love dogs, but this smell is terrible. The place is run down, and the sun blinds give an appearance... More

Sadly - the photos must be years out of date, particularly the outside and bar area. Clutter everywhere and be careful stepping over the dogs, and thats inside .Dining room really gloomy and piles of clutter at the back. Didn't want to risk a dinner as the owner/chef never looked as if he had combed his after getting up, never... More

Felt like we were waiting for a skip to arrive as all the rubbish was piling up in the corridors. Can't remember how many TV's were in the way, old beds by the emergency exits, horrendous smell as you arrive, hair (someone elses!) in the shower, peeling wallpaper, dusty, dirty, smelly. Definitely in need of a complete refurb. Sheets were... More

The Cecil Court is run down in need of refurbishment. The room we had was was tiered the bathroom was old. The toilet seat was proped up against the wall, the shower was like a garden spray, all needs riping out and starting again. The smell of Dogs was over powering, you were greeted by barking Dogs trying to get... More

we arrived on the 3rd June and was imediatly disapointed by the outside,very shabby and rubbish around, cigarette ends not been swept up outside the doors,dead plants in pots. the main lounge was dull and dirty, the staff did not look clean. our room was also dirty,the net curtain and over curtains must have been up for years without washing,we...

I've stayed at this hotel for the last 5 yrs,the owners have become personal friends,yes.there is some clutter about,but the rooms are spotlessly clean and fine.The food is second to none and once you get passed the dogs initially barking when you arrive you dont hear them again,Yes I would recommend the hotel to friends.
