“Friendly service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

I needed a single room for just the one night, and it did the job.
Very friendly welcome on arrival.
I had to leave very early in the morning, so bfast (continental) was left for me to help myself, which I appreciated.
Whilst in need of refurbishment, the room was large enough and clean.
There IS free wifi [useful as mobile signal (on Three) is inexistant inside].

“Awful is the only word to describe this 'hotel'!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This place is not unlike stepping into the 1950's. It is WAY way over priced especially considering the hotel across the road is much more modern and is cheaper! There is no free wifi as advertised. The worst thing of all is that we could not open the window....ridiculous it was like sleeping in a sauna! The smell of smoke was stomach turning the entire 'hotel' is in need of a refurb. Don't expect to sleep on too long in the morning you can hear everything from about 7am onwards. terrible place and such bad value for money!!

“ok ,but only a glorified b&b”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 June 2011

first the good points, it's situated in the main street, with a rear car park and the hotel downstairs is ok, its when you go upstairs to the rooms that it dissapoints.The rooms are ok, but dated, my tv' and set top box plugs were hanging in mid air from a mutli socket from the floor, the sash window, was old ,badly in need of relacing with mould around the edges, the bathroom was large and the shower water was piping hot , but again an old carpet needed to be replaced and the bath tiles needed replacing or re-grouting, but 6 towels and proper soap and shower gels, thanks!. the breakfast was ok but again a tired looking dining room .It needs a refurb upstairs, it's a shame beacuse it could be a great little hotel.Dont bank on the free wi-fi service they advertise , I couldn't find a signal

“Lovely hotel full of character”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010

This hotel which was a previous Coach Inn is full of character.
Rooms are spacious and clean and the staff are friendly.
Wonderful full english breakfast in the morning, if you are fresh enough to get up early.
The hotel bar next door really takes off some evenings with live music and fun.
Especially at the weekends when locals come from all around meeting in this bar.
