"Great little hotel, perfectly located"

8.0

For a one night stay, the room was just right. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff were very helpful and personable.

The in bath shower was an overhead rain water shower, so not height adjustable and low power.

"Extremely poor facilites, under resourced staff, tired decor."

1.0

The staff were pleasant, but under resourced

Booked a double bed, Pilgrims provided a twin room. They blamed Booking.com and said it was unclear. The sink in the wash hand basin in the bathroom did not work, so with it in, the water still drained away. The socket next to the bed did not work, I plugged in my mobile phone charger, and the plug fell out of the socket. They put a fan in for the hot weather, but did not have enough electrics, so you had to unplug the kettle or the tv to plug in the fan. They should have put in a 4 gang extension cable. we could not drive to the hotel to unload our luggage, and the car park was 8 minutes walk away. The hotel was not suitable for disabled guests, one of us has a blue badge.
