The pictures aren't what you get
Hotel is very dated and looks nothing like photos on website. Not ideal for families more of a contractors hotel could do with a major update.took pictures but for some reason cant post them . There where buckets in hall way collecting water drips from roof . The gym/ leisure room was full of junk so couldn't be used . The whole place was in need of a make over . Worst place i have ever stayed

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was very tired and the stairs were covered in grass and dirt and remained so for the duration of our stay. The bath was dirty and the surrounding grout was disgusting and was covered in mould. The breakfast buffet was appalling and looked as it had been left out overnight and needless to say we did not partake of the food. We had stayed before but the apparent deterioration of standards will ensure we never stay there again and wouldn’t advise anyone else to do so either.

Past its prime but very cheap and clean rooms
Its cheap and cheerful if you're working in the area however its very run down and didnt even have a sign outside only the one under its previous name "The Milton Hilltop Hotel" that said the rooms were clean and staff helpful but dont expect any frills here. This hotel did used to have a gym and pool etc but all that is currently boarded up None of the staff have a uniform on so it was a little confusing trying to work out who worked there. Outside the hotel looks very bad with weeds everywhere and overgrown grass. If you want a cheap place to rest your head and nothing else then this is the place

Exactly what I was looking for.
The hotel is in an ideal location for the long trip north. 6 minutes from the m6. Very cost effective. Exactly what I was looking For. This is the new go to place for the trips to Scotland. By no means the ritz but it does what it need to do.

Could do better
Difficulty finding it - as it is NOT called Ox Hotel - some indication of this would be helpful when booking. The staff were pleasant. Room clean and quiet, bed comfortable, appliances and plumbing worked. Pie and mash supper was very basic and SO salty. I didn't have breakfast. It needs a thorough refurbishment, corridors smell of stale smoke, decoration tired to tatty.
