Charged us £10 more than agreed (£80). Asked us when we wanted breakfast in the morn. When we appeared there was a pack of Special K and some muesli on the bar counter. A tea and coffee was provided but nothing else. We asked when cooked breakfast would be served only to be told that kitchen was out of service. Bar was closed very early on Saturday evening. Unable to contact anyone. It was a run down scruffy shambles. People should be warned. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 21 Aug 2019 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Cheap and in the centre of Royston. Bed comfortable and warm room. Fine to crash for a night. Receptionist efficient and pleasant enough. But with no common parts to speak of - no bar, restaurant or even lobby area to hang out in - there’s very little to recommend about this rather unloved and down at heel place. Odd the owners don’t just sell it to someone who cares... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### MrMac, London 31 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Was cheap, convenient and central. It is decline- needs investment ##### MrMac Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Danni 28 Jul 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Appalling Worst stay I’ve had in a hotel, on arrival at the “pub” my grandad asked for a coke from the bar to drink, offered only one type of beer or orange juice. Appalling service, when advertised as pub, dinner, breakfast etc. Considered other accommodation even if it was non refundable! Ridiculously overpriced for a pathetic box room, which the male housekeeper allowed himself into both mornings at 8.20am with his keys! Even when we made ourselves clear that we were in the room, he continued to open the door. Disgraceful and felt wholly unsafe. ##### Danni Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very helpful staff by giving us a lift when no taxis were available. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### William 23 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfortable and Clean Disappointed that the Bar and Restaurant was closed but comfortable and clean bedroom and very fast service at breakfast cooked to order.

The room was small but I had my eyes closed. I didn't use the restaurant but have had a drink in the bar and it was lovely overall it was excellent value for the money and I look forward to staying again soon. ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 22 Jan 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort very basic, small room in need of decoration, uncomfortable bed, basic bland breakfast ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 29 Jul 2019 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### CR 21 Jul 2019 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### CR Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 8 Jul 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Aimee 20 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Aimee Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bertrand 17 Apr 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Bertrand Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paul 5 Mar 2019 ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 11 Feb 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Feb 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 22 Dec 2018 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods -
