Clean well kept hotel with friendly helpful staff

Clean well-kept hotel with helpfull friendly staff. Complimentary breakfast was a bonus. The only negative was that my wife and I did not sleep particularly well as the room had a standard double and we are used to a super king. The mattress was comfortable tnough

Friendly staff, but parking can be tricky.

Parking can be difficult if you arrive late, despite a large car park, but it’s free, and I’ve always got a space with a little patience so can’t complain. Lift has been out of order for at least 4 months, but it’s only 2 storey so not the end of the world. Great staff, good breakfast. Clean. Quiet rooms.

Faultless

Reception staff were all amazing. Breakfast was excellent plenty of choice. This was booked as a couple but we had 5 rooms in total with other members of the family joining us. My mum was in a wheelchair James in reception gave a super warm welcome to my mum and continued to provide an excellent experience for us throughout our 3 night stay. Rooms spotless, housekeeping excellent. The whole stay was faultless. We can 100% recommend staying here. Thank you all at the Holiday Inn Express for making our stay an excellent one.

Great stay but lift out of order

We had two single rooms. I had asked for adjoining rooms, but that didn't happen. One room was on ground floor and the other on 2nd floor. Lift wasn't working so that was difficult as person I was with has mobility problems. Apart from that, a good stay. Breakfast good. Rooms clean and comfortable beds. Harvester next door which was handy.
