Arrived to check in and there was a wedding party in progress. The proprietor had obviously double booked our room as he very quickly offered us a full refund but we were going to a party and had nowhere else to stay. They put us up in what was probably a member of staff’s quarters after they had removed the pizza boxes and other rubbish. The room was quite comfortable if noisy due to a window with no latch. There was quite a bit of writing on the wall which luckily given our state after the party was quite amusing. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22131F5B68BCB8D38E14A07767E8D9013641EAD91726335864574.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54AB7F985FCCD921A5010748B01C54A3C65D73771726335864782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alistair Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Joe 26 Nov 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Filthy, someone else’s hair in the bed, staff arguing until 1am, freezing cold and shower did not work. ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Hazel 12 Sept 2024 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone ##### Hazel Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 17 Dec 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Avoid this property.
