8/10 Very good

The hotel itself was quite dated, but the rooms were refurbished to a new condition & were very clean & spacious. Approximately a 10 minute walk into town where there are lots of shops & restaurants.

Friendly efficient staff, nice restaurant with a good breakfast. Handy for both the train and bus stations. My only problem was the room I was in, although it had almost all that I needed, was a bit small.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Was clean and the bed was comfortable, we were put in an annex, seperat from the main hotel and very noisy. Out look from window was a wall a bit depressing when you are there for 5 nights. The breakfasts were good and the staff pleasant. Overall the stay was acceptable but probably won't use again.

Central location. Poor check in from staff, did not explain anything other than providing room key. Allocated ground floor room in annexe building. Old shower doors left outside bedroom window, window very dirty on outside. Excessive noise from occupants in room above at 2pm in the morning. Difficult to identify staff as nobody wore name badges or uniforms. The breakfast service staff were very helpful. Certainly won't be returning.

The annex is a bit dated and tired but over all the place is pretty decent. The main building is gorgeous and the food was excellent. Staff was very friendly and great to talk too. Would stay again no question.

Comfortable Stay

Comfortable overnight stay. Good parking available and the hotel is situated conveniently just on the edge of the town centre. There was a nice selection at breakfast of cereals, yoghurts, jams etc. Nice addition of an iron/ironing board in the room rather than have to go and ask for one.

Comfortable hotel centrally located, my room was on the very top floor 3 flights of stairs was hard for me with a heart condition. Bed was fine but pillows very hard.
Verified review

6/10 Good

This property is in need of significant maintenance. As we walked through the front entrance, we noticed that part of the roof above the entryway was missing, which made for a poor first impression. The front desk clerk was friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated the kindness shown during check-in. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing. It lacked basic amenities, and the balcony was unkempt. Even more frustrating, the balcony door/window was completely locked and could not be opened, so there was no way to get fresh air into the room. The one positive aspect of our stay was that both the room and the bathroom were clean, which is why I rated the stay as "okay" rather than lower. Overall, while the staff was courteous and the room was clean, the condition of the property and the lack of maintenance would prevent us from staying at this hotel again.

Romm was very basic, run down and not really worth the £100 we paid, could do with a real refresh to bring it up to standard. Bed was comfy though

Great situation for the shops just a 5/10 minute walk away. Parking at the hotel is good. Rooms spacious and comfortable and clean the only thing that is a let down is the bathroom it’s a bit outdated found the shower slippy and no where to put your shower gel and shampoo. Breakfast is very good with plenty of choice and full cooked breakfast is very good and hot. Didn’t have dinner was not keen on the menu but it might be good for others but not me. Staff are very nice and friendly. Very welcoming.

Wasn't terribly quiet as on a busy street near a bar. Decent quality food and portion sizes. Good choice for cereals and cooked breakfast. Toilet tank was broken, towel racks and toilet roll holder broken as well. Toilet didn't flush properly. Room was otherwise in good condition and nicely maintained.

First time staying here and we weren’t disappointed. Room was spacious and airy , bed very comfortable. Welcome pack was good. Shower was great and bathroom was immaculate. My only suggestion was to add a handrail inside the shower and maybe a small corner shelf for shampoo, conditioner , shower gel it’s much better for someone disabled. Breakfast is a 10/10 cooked well and tasted amazing full cooked breakfast. It’s actually situated perfectly to travel and see other places from. Parking was free and good. It’s very handy for the train station and the retail park for shopping. We are definitely going back again and we can bring our dog which is an extra bonus for us. I don’t drink but my husband does and felt that the bar would be better with tap beers.

Rooms well presented and clean with a good amount of space, large shower and coffee amenities. The breakfast was convenient and the service was quick, although they had limited vegan option and no non-dairy milks available. The staff were all incredible lovely and very helpful. The location was right across the road from the train station and a supermarket, and only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town.
