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.

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.

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.
