Never stayed in such a dirty hotel - shower too dangerous to use , huge step to get in and out, central heating full on could not turn off, springs coming through mattress, dirty carpets and couldn't open window due to pidgeons outside.

We have just returned from a Monday to Friday break with Shearings. The bedrooms & shower rooms were small & could do with being updated. However, we paid so little & spent so little time in them, it didn't matter. The rooms were clean & had everything we needed. The food was excellent & we really enjoyed the branded drinks.... More

The bedrooms and bed linen were clean and towels changed each day. The food was good and enough choice for our our group which was a group of for old school friends away for... More
