8/10 Very good

Rooms are OK, dont expect high standard. Food is typical pub food but menu was large so plenty to choose from. Lots of parking and convenient to motorway.

4/10 Fair

Check out the toilet picture.. absolute joke.

Not very clean, wee stain on toilet and bathroom needs a do over, most definitely the toilet as the seat was too small fo- see picture. Beds were company but creaky and likely old. Funny smell in hallways and like a maze to get to the room. Old style keys needs updating to electronic locks. Definitely didn’t seem worth anywhere near the £100+ per night we paid.

8/10 Very good

Was a lovely hotel with lovely staff in a nice location, I do like the kings inn hotels but admittedly the bathroom wasn’t very clean nor modern and it did smell a little, but it was still good for the price we paid to stay there. The bed was comfortable and we had a sleep without any disturbances. Also breakfast was nice, and the bar maids were very nice and it was very calm and chilled to sit and have a drink in the evening.

Great service, great staff. Decor a little tired.

The staff were excellent and the room was lovely and quiet. The beds were really comfy. I would only say that the shower cubicle was very cramped with a drench shower head which was unnerving for my elderly mum and the carpets and some fixtures were a little tired.

Bed lovely and comfy. Quiet area. Shower lacking and the coffee is rubbish instant stuff that tastes like gravy granules

Super Quick Stop in Lovely Inn

I was here for literally 5 hours, checking in at Midnight and then leaving at 0500! It was just a break on a long drive! The bed, room and overall area were comfortable. It’s like a conventional travelling Inn and lovely. The night porter was nice, friendly and easy to chat to!

Green King mixes with Hungry Horse!!

Starting with the staff, excellent very jolly and any queries or help needed was quickly and effectively sorted. Very clean establishment,bath was definitely very slippery need to have anti slip mats as norm and not have to request one, shower bath combi a bit awkward to use. Moving on to the food our evening meal was a mixed affair. The shared onion ring stacker was great but the main meals were poor quality probably wouldn't eat there in the evening again but breakfast was really good, would I stay here again? Yes certainly would very good sleep no disturbance.

6/10 Good

A cheap stay but not the best.

Hotel overall was pretty dirty. We ate in the bar which actually tasted quite nice but when we ordered a drink the glasses came with dirt and lipstick on them. When I returned them to the bar, the girl was actually unimpressed that I had returned it. Albeit she did say sorry. The room and corridor leading to it were also old and dirty looking. However, the bed sheets were very clean and the bed was comfortable. We paid less than £60 so it wasn’t over the top for the time of year. Not a great hotel given its condition though.

4/10 Fair

Rough looking place

It's a pity because the building is nice and has character, like the bar/dining area. The staff were nice and the food was good. But the bedroom... All 4 doors to access the bedrooms were dirty in the area where ppl push them open. Our door, which was hard ro open, looked like it had been prised open and no-one had bothered to repair it. The room looked nice at a first glance, but then I saw the walls were dirty, TV aerial cable was dangling from the wall socket, not plugged in to the TV, bathroom extractor fan didn't work, toilet seat was wrong size and a dirty hand soap dispenser on the wall was empty, but another one with soap in was lying on the side. See photos. Again, it's a pity because a bit of attention could make the place look if not good, at least minimum standards. I get the impression that someone managing the place has a no f12ks given attitude towards the place. I pay the same and less to stay in clean presentable hotels which also have children's breakfast included.
Simon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Shabby and poor value

Stayed here for 3 nights. Staff were friendly, courteous and welcoming and couldn't do enough for us. Unfortunately they are let down by the overall shabbiness of the rooms, poor cleaning standards and the low quality of the food. When we arrived we found a brown stain on the top sheet and so removed it, only to find that an entire corner of the sheet had a tea stain on it and it had been tucked in so as not to show - clearly the sheets hadn't been changed before our arrival which is pretty disgusting. The carpet was covered in stains, the bathroom sink was badly cracked and dirty and the bath itself has chips in several places, this sounds minor but could be a real hygiene issue if not sorted. The full english breakfast was poor, the egg was swimming in oil and the bacon was covered in burnt black bits. For the money we paid, the food wasn't worth it. Lastly, the corridor to our rooms absolutely reeked of marijuana. Clearly somebody in the one of the rooms was smoking a lot of the stuff. Hardly makes the place family-friendly. All in all we probably wouldn't stay here again.

As expected

Hotel for price point was as good as I expected. The only thing I'd say is the towels I had although clean had some stains on them. I didn't see it as a massive issue but others might.
Adam, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No hot water for two consecutive days. They have had a problem with their boilers since January and still have to refill every twenty to thirty minutes just to maintain any hot water. The restaurant is awful. The food is just gross.

Cheap and cheerful is the only way I can describe this. It was perfectly fine, nothing wrong just also not great. Staff were fantastic, but room is tired and bare bones, shower was weak and missing shampoo.

8/10 Very good

The hotel was isolated. It was very quiet at evening times so would not like to sit in the bar more or less by ourselves. No access to Sky Sports ( which Greene King is well known for) so we travelled to other venues. It is a lovely hotel and bar but only for those who like a really quiet time.
