Stayed here with my partner, his parents and sister for one night, to take in the lights.

The hotel itself is OK from the outside, typical B&B, what we expected. The room was basic, but clean enough and we had an adequate supply of loo roll, teabags etc. The shower was pretty poor, no water pressure, which made it hard to wash hair. View from the window was of a scruffy back yard.

The main problem was with the landlady. Loud, large and overbearing, she often swore in front of guests and even came to sit with us to watch the TV (when she should have been serving at the bar). We went out for a walk in the rain just to get away from her! Her poor daughter (aged around 7) wandered in wanting to watch the TV and she SCREAMED at her to get out of the room in front of us.

Dinner was dissapointing - the landlady told us we were her 'guinea pigs' for a new dish which was 'hunters chicken' though as far as I could tell it was a chicken breast wrapped in a slice of cheap bacon and covered in cheap bbq sauce out of a bottle - which was all far too sweet and my poor mother in law had to scrape clean to eat as she was so hungry!

Worst of all I found a big black DOG hair in the serving dish of carrots and peas, looking at the open door to the kitchen I could see that she lets her dog wander in and out, disgusting. Even more annoyingly she didn't let us sit and 'enjoy' our meal she insisted on sitting and talking AT us about her divorce, her kids, her life - all using foul language.

All in all we were glad when our stay was over which was a shame really, but as our car was pulling away I expected her to be clinging onto the bumper! I would never stay here again nor reccomend it to anyone other than my worst enemy :)

stayed at the brayton for weekend, very unfriendly landlady. Heating minimal, no hot water before 9-30, freezing in night, hard, lumpy beds, filthy cups with very dirty kettle for tea-making. Please Do NOT even consider staying there

This B&B looked really nice on the website so I booked the weekend for my large party. We we arrived we were greated by the lady of the house, but this didnt last as she was rather out spoken and very rude at times! The rooms were not as shown on the website, but they were very outdated with woodchip paper peeling off the walls, un hoovered carpets. The old shower in our bathroom was very mouldy to say the least as they were in all the other rooms too not to mention very small. The beds were cheap and uncomfortable and the food was terrible. One of our party didnt come down for breakfast one morning, so I asked if I could have an extra egg, and I got a very abrupt answer of NO!! The breafast was very sparse to say the least. The best thing about the whole weekend was the company of our friends, the view and the lights. We will definatley not be going ever again and would definately not recommend it to anyone!!
