Unacceptable web service from hotels horrid hotel!

Do not book this hotel through hotels.com. It is dirty and run down and I really did not want to sleep in my room. When I complained I was told that as booked and pre paid through hotels website they could not offer any refund and contacting hotels.co.uk or .com is impossible and hence any reparation similarly so. I will never book this hotel again and I will never book through hotels again. Disgusting service from the website and horrid dirty hotel.

Good value, full of character and almost excellent

A lovely characterful place that the owners are clearly trying hard with and providing great service. With some more attention to detail on the finishing off and maintenance of the fittings, and the overall cleanliness of the rooms, this could be excellent.

The property was really run down. I had a suite, the plug sockets were coming out of walls, shower didn’t run, and the TV and electrics set up was a health and safety nightmare. Wouldn’t return
