Nice pub hotel

Nice pub hotel for quick stop over. Well coated with numerous pubs/restaurants close by and a large Asda for other bits. Pub was busy night I stayed but noise wasn’t too bad. Friendly people and a good atmosphere. Will use again.

Good value no-frills hotel

Basic hotel experience but everything was good. Room was clean and tidy, good sized TV that worked well. Bathroom was clean, shower was a nice temperature. Breakfast cooked to order was lovely, again just the basics of a full English but all nicely cooked.

My room didn't have a fan in it. However, my friends did and they said they'd run out of fans. Housekeeping was annoying and kept banging on the doors, I left my fire stick there yet housekeeping claimed it wasn't there
