Value for Money

  • "Nearly £3 for a tiny cup of tea...really."

  • "Prices way over the top never going back again."

  • "The ladies has 3 cubicles. The one had no toilet seat (it was on the floor leaning up the sanitary bin) whilst the second cubicle seat was hanging off!"
  • "My main gripe is that the cord in the disabled toilet is wrapped around itself so is therefore absolutely useless to anyone who may need it."
  • "The room lacks atmosphere as it was all hard surfaces apart from the curtains, so lots of echoes of cups and plates being sorted."
  • "The toilets as a whole were very dirty, with dirt all over the floor and doors."
  • "The toilets were in a mess and felt uncomfortable using them."
