Lovely rooms, brilliant staff. Good selection of beers, great food, evening and breakfast. Nice area to stay, High Street packed with shops,restaurants and other drinking establishments. The Grapevine Jaz bar down the road for cocktails, the steam train round the corner and the Old Dairy Tap House on its doorstep. Perfect👍

Location is great. Sİnce it's on the high street, there is a good choice of shops. We just got the keys so didn't interact with the staff much. I cannot comment on that. It's a tired building. Room was ok, could have been cleaner.

Location fantastic,staff very friendly, breakfast was great parking was ok too. The room was a big let down, I have stayed there before and said that the rooms looked tired and I was assured that they were being upgraded in January . Well my room showed no sign of that, the paint was peeling, the room was noisy, not helped by the fact that we couldn’t close the window. Gary Elelman 9-10 April
