We normally avoid budget hotels so the Bulls Head at Hale Barns priced at £135 per night seemed to be a good choice. Wrong. After a 4 hour drive we arrived at 2pm and went into the Bulls Head pub for lunch as check in was 3pm. After lunch we walked across to the hotel part and I gave the receptionist my name and the reply was "you can't check in until 3pm". We sat down for the 15 minutes to await the clock to strike. There then followed some discussion with cleaning staff. Aparently our room had been missed but "we can give hem no 21" was heard. Before we arrived I received a lovely e mail askingif there was anything they could do to further make our stay more pleasant. I did reply on this ocassion as I am 8 months into cancer trea**ent and asked if I could hve an extra blanket as I felt the cold and some ginger ale in the room to help with feeling of sickness sometimes. I also find it difficult to manage stairs and walk very far. We were given a very tiny room up the stairs and along 2 or maybe 3 corridors which was very grey and black with inadequate lighting and with a view of scaffolding and building works. No extra blanket. No ginger ale. After much discussion an extra blanket but no ginger ale. Breakfast - Started with cup exchange for one without sticky stuff. Table with cereral and juice to help yourself but no fruit. From the menu I chose the full English without black pudding and a fried egg turned over as I don't like it runny. Egg came not turned over and snotty. The waitress said she would bring another. I ordered white toast and my husband brown. He got a toast rack full and I got one slice on top of my breakfast plate which consisted of half a mushroom, half a tomato, one sausge and smoked (only smoked) bacon. The waitress arrived sometime later with two white rubbery things on a plate which I assume were supposed to be eggs. Perhaps a budget hotel charging budget prices would have been the better option
