Basic but good value
The hotel is dated, but considering the price it was great. The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and the shower was hot with plenty of water. It has ample free parking and a 24 hour desk for late check in.

Outside there is no reference to Ox hotel, had to double check it was the right place at reception. The guy on reception was very helpful. Parking is good, give registration to reception and its free for guests. The room was basic with plain white walls and a few paint marks on the carpet, big bed, but the bedding wasn't fresh, as if it had been slept in before. We got the pillows changed as they didnt smell fresh, the replacement pillows were ok. Breakfast was good, buffet type with reasonable choice. If the bed was fresh and room cleaner my rating would have been higher.

The Ox Hotel is fabulous value for money. The huge cooked buffet breakfast included vegetarian options. Jack the staff member was so helpful. We could walk to great takeaway options. The room was clean and comfortable and at least I could have a great bath! Worth every penny.

It was an ok stay really, the reason it was cheap is because it's quite outdated. The nice lady on reception seemed to be doing all the job roles. Breakfast was ok, the room decor/furniture was old and well used. In our room the shower thermostat only had one setting... Scalding! No matter which way your turned it, also the extractor didn't work, the toilet seat and lid wouldn't stay up either, the bathroom was just old and we'll used. Ideal location for visiting our daughter at university. Not sure if we'll use it again though.

First of all, the name of the hotel was different to advertised . So had to ask if we were in the right place. The room we had was clean enough, though hadn’t been decorated very well. Splashes of paint on windows, skirting and carpet. No hooks anywhere to hang anything on, no chair to sit on, no coat hangers in so called wardrobe. No drawers , just two shelves in wardrobe. No shelves or hooks in bathroom. Shower not very good and a gale force wind blowing from behind the toilet! Breakfast.. first day had it cooked to order, so not too bad. Next two days were just rubbish. Bacon was rock hard, beans and toms cold. The food came out at intervals of about 10 mins at a time. Obviously the chef can’t multi task. Good points.. Staff were pleasant, Free car parking. Would use the hotel again, but for one night only and without the breakfast.

The pictures aren't what you get
Hotel is very dated and looks nothing like photos on website. Not ideal for families more of a contractors hotel could do with a major update.took pictures but for some reason cant post them . There where buckets in hall way collecting water drips from roof . The gym/ leisure room was full of junk so couldn't be used . The whole place was in need of a make over . Worst place i have ever stayed
