The Watling Inn

We booked last minute and they were very accommodating. The room was comfortable and practical and they couldn't do enough for us. We loved that the TV had all things we needed and was able to watch programmes we wanted to. Breakfast there was a choice of hot food and was very plentiful - portion size was big. It was lovely presented and hot. We enjoyed the experience - thank you.

Had a brilliant stay at the Watling Inn. From the time we walked through the front door everything was spot on. Pavan was very helpful, the room was bright, very clean and bed very comfortable. Breakfast was lovely. We had a meal the night before we left, again delicious. We would highly recommend a stay here, we will be back.

Firstly, the accommodation looks scruffy from the main rd, with pallets, building materials to the side and a shabby front door. The building appears to be some sort of converted care home, with poor signage to and from the first floor. Decor is shabby and very random. Bedroom was basic but comfortable, despite really noise floorboards inside and in the hallway. Breakfast was terrible. I believe I was served powdered scrambled eggs which were inedible, plus had to wait 30 minutes for the privilege.

Almost stayed here but didn’t - after waiting 15 mins at Reception with another traveller we were eventually seen after telephoning the hotel! Taken to rooms only to find when the room unlocked that someone was in it! I left at this point as did not feel safe as a lone female traveller. Shrug of the shoulders from the staff member as I left!

Breakfast on first day very disappointing, bacon, tinned tomatoes and sausage cold. Coffee only like warm. We stayed in room 17 Breakfast on 2nd day bacon still cold, didn't try the coffee . Bathroom...no shelf for toiletries, no toilet roll holder so had to balance toilet roll on edge of sink, toilet seat too small for the actual toilet. Shower head holder loose on the wall. No mention of decorating when we booked, the smell of paint was so overwhelming we had to have all the windows open for some fresh air. WiFi didn't connect in our room

Where to start, when we entered the inn it felt a bit run down, but the lady on reception was lovely took us to our room apologised for the cold corridors as it was a cold day. Our room was freezing too but we managed to get the 1 radiator (no heating in the bathroom) switched on. The room was very clean and basic what we expected as reflected in the price. There was only a small amount of loo roll available and no replacement available (maybe due to a lack of checking of rooms before let). The room took a long time to warm up, there was a draught under the door which quickly kept the electric heater trying to keep the room warm making an eratic loud ticking noise which led to a disrupted nights sleep. The doors in the corridors asked for customers not to let them slam at between 2 and 3.30am the customers didn't read them and sleep was disturbed more. Breakfast was lovely cooked fresh and tasted great. On the whole for a further £8 we could have stayed in The Chase Inn where the rooms are fab ( we stayed on a previous occasion) where there is a bar and restaurant on site. Poor sleep quality and a noisy premises means we will not be booking again. Shame for the 2 ladies who seemed to be running it.
