The Dragon Hotel and Restaurant

I honestly don’t know how anyone could write this place a good review, I’ve given it a 1 star purely because I had to give something. I booked with some friends for two nights on a motorcycle trip. On arrival, the reception was grubby and smelly and looked like a bomb site! My room when I opened the door smelt like a gym, it was damp and stank of BO. The bed sheets were dirty so I resorted to sleeping on top of the bed with a blanket, couldn’t use the pillows they were so disgusting and stank of sweat. There was hair in the shower, the sink and the toilet were dirty . Breakfast in the morning was fowl, I’m not usually fussy but I couldn’t touch it, cheap ingredients and the bread had been bought on discount due to sell by date! I barely slept a wink and the second night resorted to paying for another hotel (which was cheaper and lovely). Tried to get a refund owing to the state of the room and was told ‘no refund’. Terrible service, terrible place, it doesn’t need a makeover, it needs bulldozing!

Don't expect a uxurious B&B. It's clean, tidy and quite basic, breakfast was decent. A good convenient location, friendly hosts and ideal for what we wanted. Good value. Ideally could do with a refurb, but then it would cost more! Chinese restaurant part, looks like that has ceased trading - that area needs a sort, doesn't give a good first impression.

Room 14 - upstairs - has the most comfortable king-size bed ever! For a base location it's superb, everything worked fine in the room and has a view across to the river. If you want a luxury hotel to spend time in, this isn't it, but for a base so you can be out and about but still sleep very comfortably and have amazing fry-ups in the morning - book it!! Our host was lovely, warm, friendly, always smiling yet really busy! The Chinese restaurant isn't open at the moment but that's understandable. There are lots of other places to wander along to to eat anyway. Will definitely go back again and again, great value.
