The Broadoak

The hotel was a good night stay. The food in the bar/ restaurant was great. The only thing was it didn’t do breakfast, they is a really nice cafe across the road that make a great breakfast. Rooms were well spacious and had been nicely decorated I would recommend this hotel.

This was by far a better option than travel lodge, Premier Inn etc. Freindly clean and traditional. Would definitely recommend!

After reading last review I wondered what we would walk into Arrived went to pub bar , girl showed us to the room explaining that if we left early we would have to us fire escape & there was a band on that evening Saturday would it bother us . Room liveable clean yes could do with deep clean Room large ,fresh towels, warm water & bath Music finished at midnight did not have any complaints good music Fire escape was easy to leave by Free car park It suited us for one night but would not spend more than two evenings there

Rooms are located above a pub, therefore, if you're traveling for business, there will be music and voices until about 10:30 PM in the room. The biggest problem is the very low water pressure in the bathroom, making it impossible to have a proper shower. In the morning, the only exit is through the fire escape stairs, so if you need to retrieve something from your car after the pub is closed, you won't be able to re-enter the hotel once you've left. There's no breakfast in the morning; however, there's a nice café across the street that opens at 8:30 AM. Therefore, if you're a business traveller I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Sorry to say my room has not been cleaned with large crumbs on the bedroom floor and the bath has not been cleaned with hairs present. The toilet seat was not clean at all. I was expected to walk out of an upstairs emergency door to exit the building down an outside stairs in a morning as there were no staff to open up on a morning to allow me to walk down the normal stairs and out of the main door to the car park. I am recovering from a broken ankle/leg and the thought of carrying cases down an outside metal stairs without safety grips on each step on a frosty morning was not something I wanted to do. I was shown a back door route around the large wheelie bins to exit to the car park via a large gate. Not impressed at all.

Very welcoming, snacks in the room. And tried rag pudding for first time. Good stay

The hotel was nice the room was large with a big bed, comfortable and clean, the pub downstairs was good, nice pub food, overall i would recommend, however, a couple of negatives are: they advertised a free continental breakfast which is in fact just a juice box and an alpen bar left in your room. The other thing is you have to exit via the outside steep metal fire stairs in the morning which in itself is quite difficult with your bags but on the morning i left it was snowing so was pretty treacherous so not good if your not good on your feet.

Restaurant only for a Sunday meal. Carvery only tepid, meat been standing maybe overnight. Roast potatoes and cheesy broccoli, very hard, peas like cold bullets. Yorkshire pudding cold and greasy. Inedible. My husband had chips like he has never seen before, he couldn’t ear them. We ordered drinks, 10 to 15 minutes later they came to take our food order, we had to request the drinks. 4 girls behind the bar plus manager and we’re not busy. One girl had her long hair flowing front and back of her, not good for serving food and drinks. To top that I was then blocked in the car park by the pot washer, who was parked up not in a space, I had to wait on him coming to move it. Atmosphere not great in the pub plus a very noisy table in middle of the bar with what sounded like drunken lads. Not a great Sunday lunch, but we tried it.

Visited with an old work colleague on Saturday 16th March. Staff very helpful. Food and drinks were good, although a bit top end price wise. We sat in a little (could say private) area, near the window, within the restaurant which was quite nice. Nice comfy Chesterfield type chairs. Being super critical, the chair arms need re-covering, as large foam areas clearly visible. However, we came for lunch and not to inspect chairs, so just an observation. On the whole, everything good and we’ll visit again.
