Lovely and very friendly, the room was clean lovely and warm and the shower was amazing with power-full hot water! We had a family room with bunk beds that the kids loved. The breakfast was also absolutely spot on. Lovely host.
The Hotel is under refurbishment but this doesn’t and didn’t affect the stay, it will look brilliant once it’s all finished and can’t wait to comeback!

Value for price. Warm cosy room looked newly decorated. Tiled shower room. Room with a view over roof tops to the river and fields.

We booked the hotel on the same day, and although we were not informed about the check in cut off time in advance by either the hotel or booking.com, we were eventually able to get assistance when we arrived. Initially there were no staff present at the hotel or any clear sign of guests there, which was very confusing after travelling for so long. However, after calling the number provided and being persistent, we managed to get through to someone who helped resolve the situation.
Although we were first told we would need to find alternative accommodation (which was impossible at the time, given the location of the hotel) due to being ”past check in time” the staff member kindly arranged two rooms for us instead over the phone. This was generous as we had only booked a room for four, so the extra space was definitely appreciated.
The rooms themselves were adequate, nothing particularly special, but reasonable for the price we paid.
If you are booking with the expectation of a haunted experience, it definitely delivered. I know that is what what led us to booking a room. We heard various unexplained noises throughout the night which, while probably explainable, added a bit of fun to the stay. At one point the shower turned on by itself, which gave us a scare!
Although the hotel itself is quite cold, overall the heating in the rooms kept us super warm.
The check in process was incredibly frustrating from the outset. Nowhere did it clearly state that the check in closed at 10pm. If it was mentioned, it certainly wasn’t easy to find. I believe we made the assumption that it was a bigger hotel with staff onsite at all times, which was maybe our misjudgement. On booking.com, the listing only specified that check in was available from a certain time, which made it misleading and left us unaware of any cut off. As a result, it took a fair amount of persistence on the phone to secure access to the room we had already booked and paid for. That said, I don’t want to take away from the staff’s effort in eventually resolving the situation and offering us two rooms, which was appreciated.
The condition of the hotel as well, was concerning. It felt more like an active building site rather than a place ready to host guests, and at times it didn’t feel entirely safe. This made the overall experience feel quite uneasy.
In terms of the rooms, one was perfectly clean and ready, however the other appeared unfinished despite having been recently cleaned. There were dirty towels and sheets left on the bed, on top of clean sheets, cleaning products still in the room, and the bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned. The staff did kindly call a few minutes after us getting into the room to check everything was okay, but given how late it was and how long we had travelled, we didn’t feel comfortable raising further issues at that point. I do believe if we had done, the staff may have done something to resolve it.
The beds were also extremely uncomfortable, which meant we didn’t get much sleep. That said, if you are simply looking for a basic place to stay for the night before travelling on, it may just about serve its purpose.
