An excellent hotel, with comfortable, well proportioned rooms. Parking is obviously an issue, but you just have to factor in the extra cost of this (not too expensive in the station car park). The staff were excellent and very helpful, with the exception of one rather officious lady at breakfast who loudly informed me that I wasn't allowed to have porridge followed by scrambled egg on toast, as it counted as two cooked breakfasts! I have stayed in a multitude of hotels throughout the UK, and this is the first time I have encountered such an issue. Also, bear in mind that the breakfast is priced at £22! Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

The welcome at the hotel for check in was very good. Sadly we were advised there was no parking when in fact there is several spaces in front of the hotel free from 6pm - 9am. They recommended the train station parking but there is convenient on street just around the corner. The location was very central with a great pub opposite. The barman in the hotel bar was also very knowledgable about the drinks and pleasant. The room itself was quirky - not the best design, and more a 3* than 4* based on my experience. The views were of a church wall from the room - for £150 we expected a bit more. The bed was comfy, and the drinks provided plentiful - however there was only one breakfast teabag and 4 green tea! Not what I would call balance. We were looking forward to breakfast following reading the reviews - but what a let down! There was a human hair in my spinach (not popeyes may I add!), and the waitress offered to replace the spinach!! In the end my plate was left with me and some new spinach, veggie sausage and beans brought to me half an hour later!!!! By which point the tomato, mushroom and scrambled egg was cold. This really should have been dealt with a lot better as it’s completely unacceptable from a hygiene standpoint and for the price paid the hotel wasn’t value for money. The room was pretty noisy - but this was due to one guests music and chesty cough, so not the hotels fault. Toiletries so old the description had rubbed off, wouldn’t return sadly.

We booked a room with a river view, but we didn’t get it. My husband’s breakfast took half an hour to come. Wrong breakfast brought the first time. I asked for ham, was told there wasn’t any. Asked someone else and got some. I’d finished my breakfast before his came.

The room was very nice, bed and pillows very comfortable. The staff were very good and service was excellent. I was very disappointed with the breakfast. I was expecting a fresh cooked breakfast, full English or eggs Benedict etc that the on line menu gave. It was a buffet breakfast that was cold and poor quality sausage and bacon.
