I arrived to stay for a gig and was met by the owner at the front door. I introduced myself and was asked for the fee and told it was cash only so I wouldn't receive the key until I'd brought cash and then I was directed to walk 10 minutes to the nearest cashpoint. Not a great start.
On return I was given a key and told not to be late for breakfast.
Great hotel in a good location...lovely clean rooms and wifi was great
Breakfast was smashing and the lady running the hotel was friendly & helpful.
We would stay there again
I was walking the Hadrians wall path I did 27 miles took detour to Low Crosby where I got a taxi to the GH. Whilst getting in the taxi I get a call the taxi driver says thatâll just be our people so I ignore it itâs about 8pm. I ask him to drop me at the brewers fayre few hundred metres down from the GH to get something to eat. I get another call in the queue and realise it must have been the GH calling so I call back straight away.
âSorry missed your calls I thought it was the taxi company I should be there about 9â
I get a âWhere are you?â I say Iâm not too far away wont be long and she hangs upâŠ
I donât think too much of it and arrive at 9.10pm
I walk in where it says entrance and thereâs no one around so I just wait a few minutes watching the tv. The front door goes so I look round and the lady is just peering out the front. I say hello and she angrily states why didnât you ring the bell!? I say I didnât see one she huffs and puffs asks me to fill a form in which I do. Gives me a key says upstairs opposite you room 5. Before Iâm even at the top of the stairs sheâs saying dont use both beds!! Itâs ÂŁ100 if you use both beds (twin room and itâs just me.. you tell me?)
Opposite me at top of stairs isnât room 5 so I look right she shouts upstairs angrily have you found it!? Run out of characters here but she demotes me to continental breakfast đ only come if you have thick skin rooms are fine maybe she was just having a bad day. Iâm leaving before breakfast lifeâs too short
Les points forts : Personnel et service et confort de la chambre
Very tired in need of TLC
As all the other reviews say, this is a very tired place in need of some tlc. The negative is that the shower did not have much hot water at all. The positive was a very nice breakfast. I would stay here again but would prefer it to be updated a bit.
