Friendly and Comfortable

You check in at the tavern and the rooms are in the lodge at the rear of the property. Everyone was really friendly, the room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. Would recommend staying here if you need somewhere to stay in the area.

Great stay at the Don

Warm welcome, spacious room with fresh milk and water in bedroom fridge, so much nicer than little uht pots. Good value, well cooked meal in the bar with excellent real ale. Breakfast served within flexible timeframe and was again, very nicely cooked and plentiful. Would stay here again.

While the room was cheap it wasn’t very clean the shower was filthy the windows was filthy the vinyl the soap dispensers was very dirty, had a hand towel with the edges all frailed at the ends no light as you come out the room onto the landing I was left a soft brown banana that was left for the breakfast two days in a row and a slight brown apple . The breakfast sandwich was a cold defrosted bacon and sausage sandwich with the date it was frozen or defrosted on it I can’t remember. I’ve stayed in several places that cost the same that was very clean with a continental style breakfast. I know it was low budget but never expected that.

Comfortable, great food, good value!

I've stayed here before, so i expected it to be good, and it was. A comfortable single room, with a well-lit desk for doing some work. The evening meal was excellent! (Unfortunately I was unable to have breakfast, but i know it would have been good.)
