Well, my heart was in my mouth (having read the dreadful reviews) as I was decanted from my taxi outside the Drop Inn's decidedly unprepossessing (not to say Third World) exterior. I was not encouraged by entering through the bar, treading on squishy carpet (that I dared not look at!), being greeted by the dentally challenged (but very welcoming) chatelaine... more

The hotel is in a good location, on the bus route and has parking (although I chose to park on a side street as there was smashed glass all over the hotel car-park). You get what you pay for, we paid £38 and didn't expect great things, and we certainly didn't get great things. The room had a strong odour... more

This place was over the course of the weekend renamed the Ram and S***hole. Unless you are a fourteen your old boy tanked up on white lighteneing and really don't care what the place is like where you sleep (or what you are likely to share your room with!!) then DO NOT stay here. It is atrocious. We booked in... more

I have only given this hotel 1 star as 0 stars in not an option. My partner and I stayed here for one night a couple of years ago, and without doubt it is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Like others, we paid a reasonable amount for a room, but the service, quality of room and breakfast... more

The Drop Inn is by no means the nicest hotel you will ever stay in, it's also by no means the worst. It was attached to a pub by the same name which recently got taken on by a bunch of proactive ex-students and festival organisers who turned it into "The Ram and Shackle". Instead of a run down old... more

We booked to stay at this 'hotel' for one week but checked out after one night! The room was filthy although the bedding was clean. The corridors were dirty and smelly. A note was pushed under the door to say that breakfast was to be served at a hotel on the opposite side of the main road but, when we... more

We stayed in the Drop Inn for one night in December as we were going out with friends and needed a place to stay. As mentioned in previous reviews, the hotel was generally a bit run down and there is a strong smell of stale cigarette smoke in the corridors. The hotel is at the back of a (not very... more

Having read the other reviews about this hotel, I thought that surely establishments that charge decent money can't be that bad. It would seem they are. If I were to write a complete review, it would merely echo what other reviewers have written, so a brief mention of the salient points I reckon. The hotel is effectively a pub with... more

I booked this hotel for myself and my family. I read a review online (not this website) that said it was good. Ha - what a laugh! I have never cringed so much in my life! I can only be thankful that the bedsheets were crisp and clean as otherwise I would have left and written off the cost of... more
