No point having (continental) breakfast if dining room is not opened until 8am. The same time most business people have to be at work at 8am. Also, forget Mondays, bingo night leaves no room for eating in.

Adequate for my needs.
Arrived on a Thursday to be told there was no food being served until Friday. They were also waiting on an alcohol delivery so there was nothing on tap apart from a lager. I did eat there on the Friday, burger and chips which was fine. I did only require a bed and a shower for three nights so I did find it suited my requirements but would have been disappointed had I required more than that. The room was located next to a very busy road, it was advertised stating this so was of no surprise to me. Too noisy to have a window open daytime or nightime.

The overall property was reasonable and the rooms were comfortable, if small. The toilet and shower facilities were clean. However, there were some major issues: (1) There was no cook and hence no hot food available. Also no food on a Sunday evening in the close vicinity. (2) There was a leak in a sewer waste pipe which was dripping in the restaurant area but it was not closed off. (3) Although the rooms were generally clean there was a brown smear under the handle in one room. Also a kettle in a room was brown inside and not in a fit state for use. (4) There were no lounging facilities outside of the hours that staff were on duty. (5) There was no staff on site overnight and no emergency contact in case of an incident.

Dont choose the family room squeaky beds
Room on entry was perfect for a family very clean and tidy,thats where it ends when putting the kids to bed the metal bunk beds squeak so bad they even squeak when moving a foot,the single metal bed is no better,the wardrobe was not fixed on the wall and wobbled,the matress on the double bed was perfect the mattresses on the kids beds were horrendous the metal was digging into them i ended up making beds on the floor as it was too late to move the kids and we couldnt find any other accommodation,when trying to start the shower u literally had to get in the cubicale and turn it on, no way was u going to stay dry, no plug protecters in the sockets and the bottom bunk had a socket right by there head kirsty did apologise and move us to the executive suite but we wouldnt have all fitted also the hot tap in the bathroom was very loose kirsty was very apologetic in the morning when we explained we slept on the floor all night no refund was offered even a partial refund, breakfast was good!

Room was small but it was a good price and had everything it needed to have. Only issue was the location of the room meant the free WiFi didn’t work, but other than that it was a lovely place to stay.

Very disappointing hotel, felt like it was all too much trouble for the staff, especially at breakfast. Only continental breakfast don't recall seeing this at the time of booking. Had to ask for fresh pillow case as tge in the room was dirty. Very noisy room

Bad Wi-Fi bad nights sleep
Wi-Fi was only available in the bar. No Wi-Fi at all from room 12. Asked to be moved where there was signal (had a lot of work to do) but unable to help. Booked 3 nights but left after 2. Terrible nights sleep with the sound of HGVs passing by all night. Bed was comfy and room was clean. But won’t be staying again. I did like the Inns history provided in the welcome book.

Disappointing nights sleep but lovely staff & food
Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Hotel was clean and presented nicely. Food was great. However the beds in the family room were extremely uncomfortable. The bunk bed made so much noise it was impossible to sleep on resulting on us having to move the kids matresses onto the floor. The mattresses were veey lumpy and bumpy and had to double over the duvet to try and help (luckily we had blankets we brung for the kids to stay warm). The walls are paper thin and can every single noise. Not nice when you're next to a room with loud swearing people next door. Could also here every foot step up and down the stairs in the corrider. Some soundproofing and new beds are definitely needed. Definitely not worth the money paid for an awful nights sleep which was a shame as we was due to go longleat the next day and had very tired and miraerble kids who usually sleep well in hotels we've stayed in before.

OK
I had the cheapest room, so have to take this into account. However, the free wifi was very limited in the room, about a 50% chance of getting connectivity, and constantly dropping out. The room was small (the small table had a small foot stool type chair, not a proper chair as there wasn't enough room). The staff were excellent and friendly, however the hotel is a bit run down by modern standards. OK for the price.

No Breakfast and not recommended!
Its the type of building you hope you are not staying in when you drive up to it as it is very run down and filthy. Beds are very uncomfortable and squeak all night. Breakfast is advertised as 7.30 but no one showed up on the first day until 8am and then on the Monday no one showed up at all so we had no breakfast! When I called the emergency contact it went to voice mail and they never replied to my message I left. Also I emailed them about the breakfast issue and no one replied.
