Very reasonable budget hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Small basic room but clean and tidy, decent bathroom with good size shower. Plenty of hot water. Overall, it suited me perfectly.

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs. Really bad

Dreadful!!! Looks like a building site. Shower flooded the bathroom in 2 minutes. Cold. No power by bed.
Jay, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor

Stank or mould/damp. Place is literally a building site. Had to unplug the tv to use the kettle! Bathroom was decent. Hopefully better when building is finished.

6/10 Good

property was was in a state of disrepair whilst the room was comfortable and clean the reast of the site was like a building site nd being remote had no falcilities to eat or relax
DENNIS, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not again unless brought up to a decent standard.

Hotel seemed to have only just been taken over from a closed down establishment. They had no services available and the hotel smelled musty as though vacant for a very long period. Not Very Nice!
Alan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Never again

Very low pressure in the shower so the water practically trickled out. The bed & pillows were uncomfortable. At 2am I packed my bag & went to sleep in my car
Stuart, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was ok with a comfy bed and decent en-suite. Decor was not good and everything was very basic. As renovation work is under way it was a bit of a strange environment. Staff on reception were pleasant and helpful but there were not many people around. No restaurant facilities at present.

No bar . No food . Second rate room . Noisy.
Donald, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good, but room for improvement

Staff friendly enough. Room was clean & tidy & bathroom was really nice. Hotel is having maintenance with building works outside. Room had recently been painted & had a very strong smell. Understand maintenance is required, but drilling at 8am on any day, especially a Sunday was unacceptable, also without any notice.
Keith, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This basic type hotel seems to be just starting up? I expect it will be much better in the future. Staff are very nice and seemed very enthusiastic Bathroom very nice in the room I was in, which was small but nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable. On the downside it was thick with building dust which I cleaned from the air as well as the surfaces before I could sleep there - this was back in March 2025. They seemed to welcome my suggestion that they next get a good cleaner. I hope they did. Paper thin walls.
Claire, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I do not reccommend staying here

No bar or restaurant. Very dated. No air-con, so had to keep the windows open and could hear constant traffic from the A12. Hotel was a building site. Some rooms have been refurbished but to a very low quality and unfinished. I have stayed in better hotels for less money than I paid for this one. Didn't feel safe. Anyone could walk on-site and around the hotel. No locks on corridors walkways or stairwells. No security.
Exposed cables
Bathroom - Towel raditor fitted wrong. Hard to use mirror
Broken Light

Staff lovely. Room clean. Only problem was fire alarm going off at 05.30
carole, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Lovely big shower, but you wait 10 minutes for the trickle of hot water. They are doing up the hotel, but clearly on a tight budget. Internet tv only, which keeps loosing signal. On the positive, comfortable bed and my room was away from the road and hence very quiet. Warm welcome from receptionist, who walked me to my room, but he did not offer help with my bags.

Got what we paid for

We just needed somewhere to crash as wasn't planning on being in room for long. Room was okay, we were not expecting much and got what we expected. Was not expecting what looked like mould on the bathroom ceiling and for the shower to be impossible to get to a useable temperature. Either freezing cold or scaulding and if by some miracle it did get set to a useable temperature, it changed after about 15 seconds.

Excellent value for money
Patti, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor pressure

I stayed here a few times (8 or 9). It’s being renovated. The last two times, one I had no towels lucky I had my own as I did not notice until I was out of the shower. And the other the shower was scalding or freezing. This time there was brown water coming out of the shower and the pressure was very poor. I asked for another room which was given instantly. The new room had very poor water pressure also. I needed a shower before I went out for a meal. This was not possible. I packed my stuff and gave the key back. Went for my meal and the booked a travel lodge. Money lost !!!!
Just a trickle

Helpful and friendly staff. Going through refurbishment so I accepted things wouldn’t be as expected until finished
John, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

SO SO BAD

Place is a building site / total misrepresentation . Don’t stay here it’s dangerous and ait is run badly by this company
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cold room - 1 wall mounted electric heater that looked like it would fail any electrical safety inspection (half of the knobs missing). Shower in the morning had no temperature control, it was so hot you couldn't stand it under and nothing made it cooler. Evidently no cold feed to the shower and boiler temp set too hot. It['s cheap but it's rough.

Odd place, lick the main gate late at night and kids running around the place
david, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ok to get your head down.

No on site facilities no bar or restaurant no vending machines Only 1 bath towel for a double room Room was clean but dated as was the surroundings.. like a building site. No key drop off or anyone on reception when leaving. Tea making facilities very basic and not enough for 2 people.
