This is not a hotel. It is a box with beds in it across a car park from a pub with no walkway. Woken when you are already in bed and told you are in the "wrong" room is not hospitality. The box of beds has a doorway indicating it is reception and outside there is a sign pointing at it saying it is the reception, but it is not the reception. I was only able to find the reception (in the pub), because there was a bloke standing outside smoking a cigarette who told me where to go. Getting an email inviting me to check out before I have even got into bed is not "helpful" and "efficient." It is telling me I am a piece of meat. I have asked you for a receipt for what I paid for accommodation but you will not give it to me for some reason. Where is my receipt, please?

Room was large and spacious, clean and of good quality. Parking was easy for a Sunday night stay with registration given at check in. Breakfast was at the restaurant next door which is part of Marstons. Had dinner and breakfast here. Food was okay, slightly disappointing compared to previous experiences of Marstons restaurants. It was the finishing touches on the food that provided the negative review
