Only one used toilet roll in room on arrival, looked as if housekeeping had only made up the bed , room didn't look as if it ha been cleaned after last guests, no hairdryer in room,bare magnolia walls,couldn't get TV to work management were not very helpful to ty and fix problem. Very disappointed as we could have used hotel as a stopover on our journeys home from Wales.

This hotel is ideal for walkers who want a clean bed and some good pub grub for the night. We were a last minute booking and not walkers. Our room was in need of refurbishment. There was a problem with the shower ie no hot water which I did notify the staff of. The staff were very pleasant but the place obviously had a problem getting staff eg. The lovely guy who was serving us was also the barman, waiter, dealing with residents booking in clearing tables in what looked like a very busy evening.

We only noticed after we were packing up to leave that the duvet was very dirty, and we had to ask for toilet paper. Nicci was very helpful!

Disappointing stay at the Greyhound Inn
We arrived a bit late in the evening (we had let them know in advance). We had to wait a while to check in, as they were dealing with another customer who had an issue with his bill. It would have been nice if one of them could have helped us check in while the other took care of the other customer, as it was late and we had just driven a long way. When we got into our room, we had to kill several bugs. They apparently came in through the open window, which we then closed. Unfortunately, the small room was then incredibly hot and stuffy. There was no airflow at all. The hallway outside the room was about 10 degrees cooler than inside the room. There were also small spots of stain on some of the sheets and towels. The bathroom itself was clean, though. None of us slept well, mostly due to the room temperature and stuffiness. On the positive side, there was a good selection of continental breakfast items and made-to-order hot items, including vegan and vegetarian options, which we appreciated. Also, the staff members were all very nice and did their best to be helpful and accommodating. Unfortunately, due to the issues in the room, I would not stay there again.
