This was a reasonably priced hotel. It is a shame that there isn’t any parking on site, but car parks are close by to be fair. The room looked tired and could do with a refresh. The staff were friendly and helpful. They helped with our luggage so i couldn’t fault the staff there.

Gone downhill
It’s a shame it’s now so run down. Room smelt foisty & was freezing. Went for breakfast and as I’m gluten free, told there’s nothing for me & didn't even get offered a drink! Room didn’t get made up even though staying for 2 nights.

Comfortable and Clean
Very comfortable stay in a quirky ex-police station. It’s a pity the restaurant wasn’t open. My room was spacious with a stand alone bath. The fixtures and fittings were of high standard. The room was very clean apart from an oversight whereby the previous persons towel was hanging on the door and the bin needed emptied! Breakfast was good quality although not much choice for some, however, a large fry always suits my needs. The staff were all pleasant and we were even given a quick tour of the cells. Not sure why there has been so many negative comments so far, my only comment would be the lack of atmosphere but with a dozen rooms and no restaurant I guess other guests had to go somewhere else of an evening.

Food poor
The restaurant was closed so I had to walk around the local streets until I found somewhere, which was poor. The breakfast was very poor in the hotel. I asked for scrambled egg and was served what looked like 2 poached eggs with hard yokes, chopped up on dry toast. I overheard a guest on another table say their sausages were cold.

On arrival had to wait at the reception desk as the receptionist was “helping behind the bar” Got to room and there were issue with broken toilet flush and dirty brown slime in the shower (just not cleaned) When I went to ask for a change of room, I had to wait at the bar as the manager was “busy” after the lady behind the bar had heard what my issues were and spent a few minutes explaining them to the manager in her office… so I asked for the most complicated of drinks while I waited - lime and lemonade. I was asked if I actually wanted like in, and I was a little sarcastic in my “it wouldn’t be a lemon and lime drink without it” reply. Barmaid tutted and made reference to having to go get some more lime cordial from the cellar…( a whole 20 metres away) then on asking for £2.25, I presented a £5 note and was told “I don’t have change for that can you pay by card? 5 mins later she had “found someone and now had the change. At this point, still no manager to discuss my needs and the issues with the room. Eventually the general manager appeared, was initially quite defensive, but on my calm but serious comment that I had taken Photographs if she would like to see them and let’s go actually look at what I’m saying in the actual room” she backed down, went into full reverse and agreed to move rooms. The new room was clean and as expected apart from there was no air-con or fan (and it was a heat wave outside) Breakfast was ok. I did receive a refund - eventually!

Although we had a deluxe double, it was a bit cramped. However, room was clean. Breakfast was quite limited - cereal was either special k or rice crispies, fruit was a few grapes and a small orange. If you want an egg, best ask before you take your pick of sausage, bacon, beans, tomatoes, hash browns and mushrooms or it'll be cold! Parking is free , 4pm to 10 am providing you can get a space up the road! Not worth the money staying here...

Lovely quirky find - would stay again
Very clean, friendly service and friendly people very comfortable room. Desk in room was a nice touch. Quiet location. Breakfast was fine but one thing to improve would be to think about vegetarian guests. In the self service buffet hash browns and black pudding were being warmed in the same serving plate stacked up against each other so had to avoid those. We didn’t have any, but eggs were cooked to order which I thought was a nice touch. Plus toast was made fresh without having to use those horrible self service toasters. 5 minutes walk to local town with a nice Italian restaurant/pubs. This hotel is near to the entrance to a lovely park. Car parking was ok but limited. Apparently there is a public car park about 50 meters up the road. Would stay again.
