Jack at reception was absolutely superb, he’s a credit to the hotel. Bed was broken so we used the suitcase stand under the mattress.

Basic but good value
The hotel is dated, but considering the price it was great. The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and the shower was hot with plenty of water. It has ample free parking and a 24 hour desk for late check in.

The Ox Hotel is fabulous value for money.
The huge cooked buffet breakfast included vegetarian options.
Jack the staff member was so helpful.
We could walk to great takeaway options.
The room was clean and comfortable and at least I could have a great bath!
Worth every penny.

It was an ok stay really, the reason it was cheap is because it's quite outdated. The nice lady on reception seemed to be doing all the job roles. Breakfast was ok, the room decor/furniture was old and well used. In our room the shower thermostat only had one setting... Scalding! No matter which way your turned it, also the extractor didn't work, the toilet seat and lid wouldn't stay up either, the bathroom was just old and we'll used.
Ideal location for visiting our daughter at university. Not sure if we'll use it again though.
