I booked this hotel because it said there was a bar an restaurant. Unfortunately both were closed, which on a rainy and stormy night was less than ideal. I wouldn’t have booked if I had known in advance that I wouldn’t be able to get dinner.

The hotel is a converted water mill, with the river still running by it which I thought was nice, some of the rooms open out onto the car park in a kind of American motel style which I thought was cool. The room was comfortable and clean albeit a little tired and could do with a bit of modernising. The staff were really nice and personally showed me to my room. I just went for cereal so can't comment on the cooked breakfast. Also, I was a last minute booking so it would be unfair for me to comment on price / value for money as I was just happy to find somewhere 😂. There are two pubs across the road, I went to one called the white horse which was lovely. All in all it did the job for 1 night and I had a pleasant stay.

When I first went in, I found my twin room smelled very strongly, the air conditioning/ heating was really high and had unpleasant hot air that was also coming out of a crack in the wall. The bathroom was new and clean and of a good standard, and the room was better once the window could be opened and the hot air conditioning turned off. The single beds in the twin room were quite basic and hard (probably ok for back sleepers). Overall it was a satisfactory overnight stay and conveniently near the motorway.

great choice of the coffee and tea double the amount of Premier I found the bed to be big which helped getting a comfy nights sleep it is very quite and peaceful stand over and watch the rushing water pass under the building easy parking and access friendly staff, looks a little dated but value for money, pub across the road if restaurant is closed easy access to A41

It was a pleasant stay, the only thing i would say is that the rooms need new carpets and a bathroom makeover, too dated.
