“Good food, nice staff but could be cleaner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Only stayed at the hotel for 1 night, but found the staff very helpful and friendly. Our room was large and clean with plenty of storage, however the en-suite was pretty dirty. Not sure if it just hadn't been used for a while, but the sink was dirty as was the shower. Getting hot water was also a struggle and the water pressure meant the nice big shower head only produced a weak dribble of cold water. Ate in the restaurant at night and couldn't fault the food although the table cloth and place mats were dirty, with glass and plate marks from the last users. Amazing batter on the fish and great chips. Generous portions too. The full cooked breakfast the next morning was also superb. Just watch out for the extra portions on the menu. I was going to order the pork tenderloin (£9.95) but was told it would cost me an additional £2.50 for potatoes/chips and £2.50 for veg. The hotel had only been taken over by new owners shortly before our stay, so cleanliness may improve.

“poor poor service”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We ordered food here a few weekends ago in October, we can not rate the food as it did not arrive. Unfortunately we were not alone in being unhappy with our service. Many unhappy people. We left two hours after ordering food for four, we asked several times but were given no explanation. We left with no apology and others were following us. The chip shop did good trade as it was now after 21:30. Unfortunately the Hotel is very understaffed and seems to be being left to fall to bits.

“thoroughly recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

I am quite taken aback by some of the reviews I have just read. Having spent a couple of nights there last weekend I have nothing but praise for the high standard of service, accomodation and attention from staff. I have however heard the hotel has recently been taken over by new management which I was able to reap the benefits from.
I have to say the breakfast was delicious and what a helping! I would pop in for that even if I wasnt staying there.
I would have no reservations in recommending a stay at this homely hotel and wish to thank the friendly and ever so helpful staff for making me feel most welcome.
Many thanks and Ill be back, Margaret

Room Tip: Room no 5 was perfect. Good size bathroom and great shower.

“Bad Bad Bad”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

people found this review helpful

Don't go. Really poor. this place need some investment to drag itself into the 21st centuary. Food was disgusting. We had to eat in the bar which was like the wild west. I had to speak to one local "drunk foul mouthed guy" to ask him to stop swearing as my daughter and I were trying to eat our meal. Only stayed because there was nowhere else.
