    Location only Very noisy as between rooms you can hear even the breathing of your next room person that makes you not too sleep, cleaners were friendly, housekeeper was friendly, but this has not reflected on other staff.

    Friendly staff , located right in the town centre , spacious clean room . Mattress was too soft but I suppose thats personal preference . Other than that for a 3 star hotel it was lovely

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Especially the lady who oversaw the breakfast. The hotel is right in the town centre making it in easy walk of the shops. Plenty of free parking. Free WiFi. Being in the town centre it was quite noisy into the early hours.

    The property is in the city centre and very accessible. So the hotel has a major bed bugs problem. After my 2nd day i saw bed bugs and i couldn’t sleep properly. The room was on the top floor and no air conditioning so the room was always hot 24/7 and poor ventilation.

    Friendly staff Davina was so helpful excellent location Only downfall was they have now rented out the pub not their fault covid was to blame unfortunately and we couldn’t use the hotel bar as there was a private function on but still enjoyed our stay

    I would highly recommend this place to stay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Lovely staff, very accommodating and helpful, I didn’t arrive until after midnight as travelled down from London. I had been warned about the noise from the road my room faced , but was able to close the windows and use a fan to cool the room, enabling me to sleep well. Accommodation was clean, lovely sheets on the bed and lovely towels. No mat in the bath but I could easily request that . Felt the room was a little tired and outdated. Felt like one of the old worldly hotels you used to get. But I had paid a good price last minute so I am not really complaining just pointing it out. .

    Location Too hot to sleep, a fan that did nothing, air con would be good, two nights didn't sleep, and in the pub area smelt dreadful of grease and oil from cooking, couldn't sit in there

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Looked comfortable and clean. The lights in the bedroom fused so only the tv for light all night. The flickering light was not conducive to sleep. The mattress was uncomfortable.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff were really nice and helpful. Breakfast was great.

    My husband and I stay here often, the situation to shops and restaurants is perfect. You can park the car before check-in and they are happy if you leave the car once you check out, just for a couple of hours not all day. Very clean, tidy and staff are very helpful. If I was to have to say something all i can say is more milk sugar sachets to be put in the room.
