The Butlers Hotel

When we first pulled in to the carpark and went in to reception the lady on reception was lovely and very welcoming. When we walked up the stairs the first floor stair case is a normal staircase and easy to use. The next one to get to the top floor is rather steep and not easy to navigate if your older. When we walked down the corridor we noticed there was some water damage to the ceiling on the corridor where the timber support for the roof runs down where the 2 roofs meet in the valley gutter. Once in the room the decor was old and window was open so room was freezing (little oil heater to the rescue) the little oil heater did warm the room up nicely however it was a bit bent and wonky and needed a bit of a repair or replacement. Tv in the room was a bit on the tiny side it became more of a radio than anything as trying to see the screen was a pain with how small it was. Beds were old and hard and springs poking you in places in the night, First night was OK and managed to sleep reasonably well for the room. Second night there is what sounds like student accommodation near by / opposite and as the window doesn't seal shut amazingly well all noise comes through and in to the room and their house party kept me awake till around 2am until it either ended or I had just got fed up and finally fell asleep. The shared toilets work but would benefit to having an update and some repairs carried out to them as they are tired and need some work. On the first night we saw something move on the roof beam that ran down the valley gutter of the roof and it was a slug, upon further inspection the timber was starting to give up and needs looking at before it gets worse (apologies for not letting you know on check out as it had slipped my mind) Breakfast was lovely and worth the £7 extra cost. We would look at returning based on the care and attitude from staff but would look to find a better room if possible with an en suite and providing it some updating.

Terrible Scruffy and facilities and accessibility to rooms not suitable for anyone over 30. Probably more suitable for students. Cheap and cheerful in dire need of a makeover to bring it from 70s Headingley Up to date. It would appear to be quite reasonably Priced until you arrive with a warm friendly welcome but others in the area much better

This is a less than budget hotel. Dated and very smelly. It was so bad we didn't stay. Left the keys on the bed and booked a room in a Premier Inn for less money. Felt uneasy and wouldn't have stayed there if we had been paid to! Awful, awful, awful.
