We had booked a hotel room for two adults two children at the Dorrington. When we arrived we were told we had been upgraded and we had a two bedroom cottage for the same price! This was two minutes down the road and a lovely clean two bedroomed house! We were so pleased with it and would have loved to stay longer!

It was not ideal having to take all the kids into a bar to get booked in. The room itself was filthy, no table lamps and a green light was on in the room the whole night. It smelt like sewage in the bathroom and the heating didn’t work. No beds were made up for 2 of the guests and the pull out beds were broken. The light shades were broken it wasn’t great. The floors was sticky with stained carpet.

The staff were lovely and helpful. The bed was clean and comfortable. The only issue was the guy in the room next door to us was blaring his TV at 230am and then gave me a mouthful when I asked him to turn it down. Luckily a member of staff was nearby and dealt with him. The bathroom was a little delapidated and needed a better clean

Where to begin! Nightclub playing music till 0200, girls screaming/squealing, doors banging and male voices heard till 0300. Breakfast, what a joke! Breakfast was included in the booking, had booked breakfast for 0845, no access to the dining area as the place where it 'should' have been served was locked up. Banged on the door at 0830, went back and packed our bag, placed in the car, went back to bang on the doors, front and back! No answer, no life! Miserable end to a nice previous evening. Unless you are deaf and not hungry in the morning, don't book a room!

On arrival the bed room was dirty bits of used tissue and cotton ear buds were in the bed and on the floor. Upon going to bed my daughters bed collapsed with her in it. And upon pulling the mattress onto the floor from the other bed as she was scared to sleep in the other one we discovered the slats were all snapped on that bed too. Although they did offer to move us to another two rooms it would of meant splitting the children up which they don’t like to be separated. We stayed in the original room but had to sleep on mattresses on the floor. Also the had a fire light which was bright green which shone all night in the room which didn’t help with the sleeping conditions. The breakfast wasn’t great it came out cold and didn’t get a choice was just offered a cooked breakfast.

Hotel was ok-ish but having our room above the neighbouring fried chicken restaurant and their rigorous cleaning regime made it one of our worst hotel experiences ever. That and the lawless louts on the street outside until gone 2am. We won’t be staying there again.
