  PLEASE DO NOT STAY HERE. Women and solo travellers especially

  Horrendous. I would warn anyone against this place, particularly female travellers. It is outright dangerous and I would be surprised if a serious crime doesn't take place here due to the horrific negligence of the owner.When I arrived, the taxi driver's first words were 'there's a naked man out front, are you sure you're going to be safe here?' No staff at all in the building over the weekend and people openly smoking weed by the propped fire door, which was wide open the whole time I was there. All the room doors were left unlocked with keys sitting inside -- literally anyone could have come in, for theft or to ambush a vulnerable visitor. Someone threw something at my window within an hour of arriving.Naturally, I immediately tried to leave only to find that the owner was uncontactable all the next day (still no staff on the premises). Neither the hotel chain nor the booking website could get hold of him. He then refused point blank to refund me despite admitting he had seen the whole thing on CCTV, telling me it was a 'workmen's hotel' and it was my fault for booking in when I'd seen the reviews.He finally turned up the day after only to round on me in a stand-up row in the car park with two burly male employees, calling me a man-hater and every other name under the sun and asserting that the whole thing was fine because it wasn't him dealing drugs, so none of it was his responsibility. Also, the naked guy wasn't a threat because he was 'wearing shoes' and I was paranoid. In passing, he let slip there were 12 male guests and only 1 female (me) -- then ranted at me about how there aren't ratios and 'he has a 17-year-old daughter', as well as making unspecified threats about what would happen to me if I used my recording of the conversation. I ended up walking in the dark for 2 hours down the A40 to get away from that place.As a side note, the rooms were microscopic, not particularly clean and there was only one female toilet in the entire set of buildings (filthy). I had to put my laptop on the windowsill and my suitcase on the bed because there was no floor space for it.Please think again before going here. It's cheap, but if you can possibly afford somewhere else, I hope you will. You can get past a tiny room, but the real problem is flimsy locks, no security and a completely indifferent owner. If you get in trouble here, it is way out in the middle of nowhere and you could easily end up in serious danger with no one to go to for help. I would warn any woman in particular against this place.

  HANDS DOWN THE WORST HOTEL IVE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO STAY IN. Sagging bed. Tiny room. Filthy carpet. Prison like shower block. Drunk unruly guests. Avoid this flop house at all costs. Unless your only alternative is sleeping under cardboard don't go here.

  Disgusted

  False advertising , it is nothing like the pictures, it’s discusting, 2 showers and 2 toilets to share with whole hotel, the toilets are repulsive, wee and even poo around toilets, carpets are stained and just filthy, rooms are the size of a shoe box and walls are thin as paper can hear people breath in the room next door, (literally) , they come in your room when your not here and go through your stuff, my passport has gone missing from my bag !! Wouldn’t refund any money even before I’d checked in, do not and I mean do not ever stay here, environmental health will be getting informed it needs shutting down .

  I review many commuter or travelling business style hotels around the UK and know what to expect . Not looking for luxury , just convenience , security , cleanliness and comfort This property doesn’t satisfy any of those criteria .The first property I checked into and have immediately scoured online for other options nearby . Horrible mattress with late dents in it , I clean sheets , tiny room , horrible shared bathroom , noisy , dirty , no no no

  Decent budget hotel

  We stayed here whilst going to a wedding nearby. The room was basic but fine and beds comfortable. Room was set back from the road so I didn't hear any noise and had a really good nights sleep. Only downside was a communal bathroom and the cafe isn't open on a Sunday so we didn't get to test the breakfast. All in all a pretty good stay for the money really!
