Happy with our one night stay very sad that this lovely hotel is on its way out, loved it, but sadly no food available so we had to eat out elsewhere. It seems sad that we cannot spend our money there , which may help to keep it going !

Check in was fine. Receptionist very helpful and friendly. The property was very tired and rather depressing. Our room was dated and the beds were ancient although had obviously been fitted with newer matresses. The room itself was superficially clean, although all doors, both in our room and along the corridors, needed a thorough cleaning and a lick of paint. The breakfast was fine, with cereals, toast, juices and yoghurts on display, but we had to ask what was available when ordering cooked food. Menus would have been appreciated.

Overall good stay at the Horseshoe Inn. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was good and of a reasonable price. Building on the outside looks great but is dated and in need of an upgrade inside.

Well worth considering.
There's a lot to like about this hotel: the staff are helpful, I had no complaints about the food, the building itself is interesting and my room was clean and quiet. That said, it is let down by a lack of maintenance. Most of the surfaces in my room were worn, the bathroom felt tired and the carpet was literally threadbare. I understand from the manager that they are now tackling the backlog of jobs that need doing and, when done, this really will be somewhere special to stay.

Don't Stay There.
The rooms are so unwelcoming. We were in Room 14, and whilst there were no complaints over the cleanliness of the bedding or bathroom, the carpets and paintwork are absolutely filthy. Carpets are hoovered, but they are a mass of stains, and need to replacing. The windows and paintwork I have added a photo of. It cost me £156.60 for 2-nights which is terribly overpriced in this day and age for such inferior rooms. Will never stay there again, and they ought to offer partial refunds to their customers. Simply disgusting.

I booked a deluxe room (I don't think this was the one I was given) It did not match or look anything like the photographs. The Carpet was old, stained & dirty. The mirror was smeared and dirty. The Bed base fabric was ripped and a valance was badly fitted showing the damage. I had to stand on the chair and climb onto a wide window ledge to open the window and close the curtains. The flood lights shine straight into the bathroom and bedroom windows all night!! It was fairly windy during my stay and I was kept awake all night by something banging outside the window. The overall building was tired and in need of some refurbishment. On the plus side the guy behind the bar and lady serving breakfast were great.

Very poor service in the restaurant bar. One night I was waiting for 10 minutes or more to be served while the barman was chatting in the bar, eventually I when to my room and got my keys and drove to the local chip shop to get food, just what you need after working all day.

A little disappointed with the room which was advertised as a ‘Super Double room’ . There was nothing ‘Super ‘ about it. It was ordinary. In the photos , it shows the Super room as having a Four poster bed.- No such luck.
