DO NOT BOOK!!! The hotel is disgusting smells absolutely terrible , it’s used to house immigrants and homeless people , we did not feel safe at all and slept awful as it smelt so bad and really didn’t feel clean at all , I can not wait to wash anything I took with me and have a shower as soon as I get home . Please do not book this hotel!! The young lads on reception we friendly and chatty but I feel sorry for them having to work on such a place . So bad we left before 6am we could not wait to get out of there.

DO NOT BOOK Used to come to the restaurant all the time, most of the rooms are rented out to long term residents now. There was *****, fighting, people in pjs in the bar! Drive past all the time and there are people sat outside drinking in pjs, last week kids bouncing on an old mattress in the car park! Police always there. Can’t believe they are still advertising for events. Imagine not knowing and booking a wedding or event here! Such a shame as it was all done up in recent years, completely sold out for profit.

You have to trust the reviews. This is not a hotel anymore as its main business is social housing. The reviews posted recently are correct. Unfortunately we booked months ago and never checked the recent reviews, otherwise we would have cancelled. Beds are horrendous, breakfast disgusting, certainly not cooked by a chef. Rooms need a lot of TLC. Avoid is the only advise I can offer.

The Bar & Restaurant had been closed since January 2025, so couldn't have a meal or a drink . Had to walk to another hotel down the road. Won't be staying at this hotel again.

I should have read the reviews! Yep families living here. Kids running round, late evening. Adults just walking round in PJ's and slippers! Stinks of smoke. This was once a beautiful hotel. Doors banging through the night. Sounded like a puppy s screaming. Outsides areas filthy.
