I don't like premier inns. I like old hotels. This is as quaint and old school as they come.

Old buildings come with old building noises

Good location

The rooms are nothing like the pictures, there are no facilities, bar etc. The drains smell and the corridors stink. Threadbare carpets, furniture, rooms - well everything really - understand it’s up for sale and current owner not willing to spend on it according to reception.

6.0

I liked the convenient location of the hotel. The bar was a bonus. Parking on site for a small fee (£5) was also useful. The fireplace in the lounge was impressive.

The majority of staff lacked warmth and hospitality, which goes a long way towards making a stay welcoming and enjoyable. (A couple were personable and made us feel welcome.) The general feel of the hotel is tired and worn. It would have been nice to have a bottle of water in the room. Lack of breakfast, which is disappointing for the price. It seemed expensive for what we got.

Location was great, on the high street. Parking was great and only £5 for 24 hrs if you pay in reception and not on the machine in the car park, which charges £10.

Nothing really, except decor isa little dated. There's no food available on site but there's plenty of cafes around.
