DO NOT STAY if DISABLED!!!

I have written separately to Tap Motel/Restaurant. The Motel SHOULD REFRAIN from advertising ACCESSIBLE ROOMS, as the Staff assured my Husband on our arrival! H&S issues numerous!!! Approach to Accommodation block by narrow pavement TOO narrow for wheelchairs, walking frames and pushchairs! Room NOT wheelchair accessible, certainly UNABLE to get into Bathroom. Toilet seat TOO Low (needed assistance), Mirror/Basin TOO high! I deliberately sent Tap Motel an email asking 'Accessible or not'? upon booking, Tap Motel IGNORED my email, NO RESPONSE! Restaurant HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, although booked a Table, was told 'NO BOOKING', eventually found a table, Food/Service EXCELLENT! Tap Motel are DEFRAUDING their Disabled Guests!

Room was clean and comfortable although the mattress wasn’t very comfortable. It’s a shame the view out of the window couldn’t be tied up. The pub itself is brilliant and the food and service is outstanding

basic clean comfortable place to stay

Room was clean and basic with good shower in the bathroom. Relatively small room with dated decor and could do with a refresh. functional and adequate if you just need a bed for the night. Adjoining pub is nice inside with outside terrace and local beer brewed onsight. Quick taxi or 15 minute walk from the centre of Ashby De La Zouch. Really nice engaging staff

Be aware no food served on a Monday nor is breakfast available from this hotel. Go to Beeches pub for dinner. About five mins down road. Olive tree ( next to co-op) also about five mins away. I don’t think sheets had been changed on one of the beds as they were stained.

Very Poor

Don't be fooled by the Hotels.com rating, not sure how this is so high. My room was unclean, cold, damp and not very welcoming. When I checked in there wasn't much of a welcome, just given a key. The room was unclean, what appeared to be chocolate cake crumbs on the bedside table, stains on the floor and on the bed, damp stains on the walls and very basic furnishings. Went to get an evening meal which was OK but felt like I was in the way, then found out they didn't serve breakfast evening though it's on their booking page. Overall poor....

Reasonable room with nice colour scheme. We liked the addition of juice on the drinks tray, as well as tea and coffee. (Shame it was PG tips) You can purchase a breakfast at the bar if you wish at a reasonable price. Bathroom was clean and includes mini toiletries. Room a little tired, with stains on walls and floors and some cobwebs - Halloween decorations perhaps :-) . Beds ok, a bit soft for us. Staff friendly. Easy to use heating if needed. Overall good.
