  : The location was the only likeable thing.
  : I booked on Friday for a King double room for Monday night. Landlady called on Monday when I was driving to the hotel, asking for payment, which I made. She then said that the pub part of the hotel was closed (turned out to be for work to be done) and could not offer evening meal or breakfast. This meant I had to drive to Newmarket for dinner and breakfast - an 8 mile round trip on each occasion. Also said no one would be on site and my room 4 would be open. Arrived - room 4 locked. Managed to contact landlady by phone and a man finally arrived with a key, but to room 7. This room was a twin single, and I don't like single beds, but after a long drive I was too tired to argue, and the man had already said he was not on the staff and had only given me the key as a favour. So I used room 7. Bathroom hand basin was a vanity-size, suitable for handwashing but not for facewashing or shaving. Banged my head on the tap and on the glass shelf above the basin. Had there been hotel staff around, I would have asked for a price reduction, but no one was to be found. Never Again!!
