"Room serviced every day to a good standard. Evening meals where good and the roast dinner was great value and very nice .Breakfast not included if not booked direct so was a bit of a surprise and £12.50 extra seems a bit steep when a short drive up the road is cafe 22 where a full English is only £5.50"

"Review of two night stay at Hotel 52, Stanley from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th May 2026 Check-in was online only which required a smartphone and a reliable Wi-Fi signal, there are no reception staff on site during the normal working day. The outer door was automatic so anyone could walk in. After collecting our key from a key safe we went to find our room. There was a security toggle with the key to open inner doors of the hotel but none of the security locks functioned so anyone could access all areas of the hotel. This is not safe. The only lockable door was the bedroom door. With no staff on site this is a disgraceful lack of security. We had booked a double room with en suite facilities. The room appeared to be set up for single occupancy. The bed was a ¾ size double bed with a single mattress protector. There was only one chair which was very stained, one bedside table and one bedside light. The bathroom was on a lower level and had three steep steps down with handrails either side. Both handrails were almost completely pulled from the wall and would have offered no support to a person who stumbled on the steps. There was no shaver socket in the bathroom and the hot water feed to the wash-hand basin was barely tepid. The shower was warm enough. Two bath towels were supplied and two mugs for tea/coffee. These were the only sign that the room was for double occupancy. There was no bin in the room for any litter we might have and it was not clear that housekeeping was only o"

"The hotel was lovely and old. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had an issue with no hot water, however the management did their very best to accommodate the problem asap and apologetic. The food in the stable restaurant was yum! Overall, a great stay."

"Quiet and clean place to stay, and booked this for a work trip. Bathroom shower came off suddenly, which could have led to serious accident. Friendly staff and breakfast was great."

"Stay was alright. Didn't eat or use bar"

"I upgraded to larger room, it was clean, very comfortable, bathroom clean & functional. Unfortunately my 'upgrade' was a room right next to main corridor door on ground floor, to say it was noisy is an understatement. The biggest issue was not the hotels fault, as the people in the room above were so loud, it sounded like there was a party going on & constantly banging on their floor. The lovely receptionist did kindly go & ask them to stop when I complained at around 9.45pm, which they did, for 10mins then started again until after 11pm. Definitely not what I paid extra for. Not on my list of hotels/motels to ever use again"

"Great family room with so much space for us all, met at reception in the evening by lovely helpful staff. The bar area was lovely, breakfast with plenty of choice and a nice garden and park area for us in the morning before our travel"
