Booked into this hotel as we were off to the rugby for the day....Alarm bells rang when we were instructed by the resident Hobo having a cigarette outside, that the way to get into the Hotel was to ring the bell. After a few minutes a woman answered the door and let us in. We were told that our room was on the 3rd floor. After a 5 minute walk to the top floor we came to our "room". More of a potting shed that someone stuck a small bathroom in. The room was tiny. Barely enough room for the bed. The TV was a tiny 10" portable that was not visible from the bed as it was located on a small rickity cabinet that looked like it was ready to collapse. There was a further bedside table with tea and coffee making facilities on. These too were tired and dated. The bathroom was small and clean...ish...apart from the fact that someone had used the toilet and not flushed it. we spent an uncomfortable and noisey night in our room. Sleep would have been some compensation for the shed we were in but alas that was in short supply due to the all night racket going on outside. Still, at least breakfast would claw somepoints back.....or would it? On the way down to the "dining room" I could smell no sausages and mentioned this to my wife....her reply was "that's cos you ain't getting any"
How right she was...cereal, hard boiled eggs and burnt toast was all that was on offer...oh and some out of date cheese. The dining room was tiny. Garden furniture crammed in so tight we were literally inches from the next table...I paid £100 for the night. I am a realist and don't expect much for that kind of money but this place takes the mick! £20 would be a fairer price. Don't stay here unless you enjoy potting plants, no sleep and a gipping breakfast.
