Not quite a premier inn
Check out on the Hotels.com website says 12:00 noon check out but its 11:00 am, main carpets need cleaning and a little paint in the room wouldn't go a miss Toilet takes required to pump the flush. TV signal on and off. Would stay again even though a few minor points.also first time ever I've seen a insect trap in the room at the side of the Bed and I've travelled the world.

Bathroom in the bedroom was dirty, roof peeling black mold around shower. Picture frame in main bedroom broken and sharp edge. Staircase is missing a spindle which is surely against the law with risk of a child falling through. Banister outside broken and unsafe. All outside area dirty rubbish blowing around seating area at front of pub dirty tables & manus in pub area. The best thing about the pub is the manager who was on shift Saturday day / night.

Would not return there
Friendly staff, however I feel sorry for them working in an establishment that as had no investment or upkeep for a long time. Our room was very tired, the bathroom was dusty, mold in the shower and the ceiling was in great need of attention, the corridor was smelly. Shame on a company like Greene King not to take more care of one of its establishment.

Darrington visit
Quick trip to the area. Hotel was very handy for where i needed to be. Plenty of free parking.. check in lady was great. Room was fine. A bit chilly but the heating soon sorted that. Neighbours were a pain in the rear end. Noisy at 1am. Not the fault of the hotel of course. Had dinner on site. Reasonably priced and very nice. Breakfast was included and was great. Key drop check out. Will i use this one again. Definitely yes.

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.

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.
