Absolutely shocking, massively overcharged!
Charged £243 so assumed it would be high end accommodation but was more like student digs/a hostel and would have found £100 too expensive.
The hotel and room was very tired, grubby and felt dirty. The windows were very difficult to open and the bathroom was so old, having a shower the nob came off so couldn’t switch it off. The walls were filthy and the whole suite needs completely ripping out and replacing. I feel like I’ve been charged the rate of a high end London hotel for an awful experience … so disappointed and feeling robbed

I was given a key to a room with someone in it, I woke the person up opening the door.
I felt so let down I did not stay and left the hotel, taking my children on the 6.5 hour drive home as I did not want to stay in the hotel.
I would like a full refund due to the above.

Great price for a comfortable one night stay
Lovely staff working on reception. Room comfortable but tired could do with redecorating. Bonus a fridge freezer and microwave in the room. Breakfast good but a lack of cutlery meant we had to use wooden forks.
