Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and isolation. The room, though spacious and cozy with twin beds, felt somewhat tucked away like a converted garage. The service was friendly but marred by the disturbance from a neighboring band. The location was convenient for exploring Middle England but faced challenges with traffic navigation. The dining experience was delightful, although the absence of proper coffee was a small downside.
The hotel was located next to a club, which was a bit noisy when we returned from our party, but the room itself was fantastic - very big and clean. The service was extremely friendly and quick to address any questions. The location was great for a short walk but felt a bit run-down in some areas, which made me slightly uneasy. The dining experience was nice with black pudding. The facilities were satisfactory but nothing extraordinary.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the center of town, but the noise from the carpark and nearby pub was bothersome. The service was friendly and helpful, although a bit unprofessional in appearance. The dining experience was pleasant overall, but there were some timing issues. The facilities offered by the hotel were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and had everything you'd expect, including a newly refurbished bathroom/shower room. The service was friendly and helpful, though I did notice staff smoking during service in view of guests on the outside patio. The location, right in the centre of town, was convenient, with some noise disturbances during the night. The dining options were good if you like a full English breakfast, but it felt like the owner was cutting corners. The facilities were decent, with picnic style benches in a recently renovated historical building.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nice and spacious, equipped with everything you could need for a weekend getaway or longer. However, being situated over a noisy bar was a bit of a downside.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were tastefully decorated and had modern conveniences, but it was extremely hot and the cleaning could have been better. The service, however, was exceptional - the staff were super-friendly and made me feel like a long-time friend rather than just a guest. The location was convenient, close to shops and restaurants, but the area felt a bit run down, making me slightly uneasy. The dining experience was great with a variety of options, but there was a small hiccup with the breakfast timings. Overall, it was a stay with highs and lows.
The hotel offers rooms with basic facilities, but the very helpful staff made my stay pleasant despite some cleanliness issues. The cost was reasonable, but there are aspects that need updating, such as missing curtain pelmet and scruffy paintwork.
The hotel offers great value for money with rooms at only £70 inclusive of breakfast. While the rooms may feel a bit maze-like, they are in harmony with the house's style. The service staff were helpful and professional despite some noise disturbances at night. The location is excellent, close to shops and restaurants, and the dining experience, although lacking proper coffee, was lovely and freshly prepared.
The hotel is in a convenient location, with just enough space in the rooms for essential amenities. The service was accommodating and helpful, though noise at night could be an issue. The dining experience offered delicious options, and the facilities were satisfactory for our stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was beautifully equipped for a weekend getaway, but the lack of air conditioning next to a noisy club made it stifling on warm nights. The service was friendly and accommodating, with delicious bacon and sausage sandwiches on offer. The location, though central and convenient, felt a bit run down and insecure in certain areas. The dining experience was impressive, particularly with the selection of cereals and tasty vegetarian options. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
