Having previously stayed at Peppers Beacon, all we can say is they’ve really let themselves go. There is zero noise insulation within the rooms, staying on level 6 we were repeatedly listening to the thunderous footsteps of our upstairs neighbours, hearing noises from the carpark on level 4 and constant sounds of rushing water through pipes that could be heard whilst laying in bed. General maintenance and cleanliness no longer seem to be a priority. Beds were broken, the carpets and couch were filthy and we found items in the kitchen which were still dirty from the previous guests. Despite the website there is no spa or sauna on site. Guest laundry for the entire hotel consists of two standard washing machines and a single dryer as the remaining dryer and washing machine were out of order. The outdoor furniture is limited, many dirty and damaged and numerous outdoor tiles were wobbly and loose. The website photos are not an accurate representation of the hotel in its current state. Housekeeping can be expected anytime between midday and 6:00pm. Staff were friendly enough. Location is great and a short and easy walk into town. Given the rates being charged for not only the room but also car parking, along with the care that the property seems to be putting into the rooms and common areas we will be staying elsewhere in future.
