The Lion Hotel ★★★

"Lovely hotel and a great place to stay the only disappointment was the uncomfortable mattress."

Makeney Hall Hotel ★★★★

"The main building was pretty good. Compared to the main building, the rooms besides the courtyard where we lived in were rather basic. Everything was good enough apart from the heating system and toilet. The floor and toilet were pretty freezing. Fortunately, the lady in the reception brought us a small heater. It did help. Also, the flush of the toilet couldn't work properly."

The Canal Inn ★★★

The Bear Inn ★★★

"We were surprised to be asked to settle our room bill - £304 for 2 nights inc breakfast - the moment we arrived in reception before even being shown our room. In good faith we settled the bill. The way to the room was through the old building which smelled of damp covered over with air freshener products - not pleasant. Fire doors were covered in cobwebs and detritus on carpet. The staff member struggles to get key in door as lock miissaligned with handle keyhole. The room was poorly cleaned. Thick dust on surfaces. It was for cost of room very small. No chest of drawers for clothes. Just few pegs for hanging. No wardrobe. Architrave roughly fastened with exposed screws. No care with scruffy decor. Shower screen broken and poorly maintained. The shower pressure was pathetic - think watering can at best. Toilet seat was missing studs and so slid off base bowl in use. Tiny kettle inadequate which was to be plugged in to an extension lead which was nailed to skirting - think garden shed electric supply standard. Cable TV signal erratic. Again corridors showed evidence of untreated mould and damp. At the wedding we attended when I told a local we were staying at Bear with no prompting said " they don't have cleaners there". I feel sorry for staff who are friendly and food was more than okay - good even. But whoever owns business is leaving staff to front this inadequate maintained and tired overpriced accommodation. At first breakfast we ordered avacodo on toast from breakfast menu. Very pleasant staff said avacodo has not been delivered yet. We accepted this with tired patience. Next morning same staff said before we could ask " the Avocado never did arrive" laugh... Not good enough by a long way"
