Great Overnight Experience

We had a good experience here, the hotel id ideally placed for the city centre, just managed to get the last parking space, although £15 for residents seems a bit steep. Staff were pleasant and helpful and the room was very quiet and comfortable.

Distinctly Average

Receptionist walked off to take a personal phone call halfway through checkin. We’d booked a superior double but were given a garden view room. They corrected the room but claimed it to be Hotels.com’s error. The room, in the end, was ok. Old and in need of redecoration. The bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast was decent, plenty of choice. Parking is extra even for guests.

Great location, onsite parking, lovely welcoming entrance. Room and bathroom a little tired and worn. Doors very thin so you can hear all the other guests talking and walking up and down the corridor.

Royal Hotel:

Wasn’t given the room online that I booked for a special occasion was given a really below average room with fruit flys flying around the bathroom and bedroom and peeling paint on the bath walls. We were given the wrong food that we ordered and found it dissatisfying and disappointing. I think the advertising is misleading we asked for a room in the manor and paid for it to be called up a few days later with the manor having renovations for leaks. Very misleading:

Lovely local hotel

20mins walk from the station, use exit on platform 2 and taxi outside. (One way routes £8.00. Hotel is behind the main high street, turn left out of hotel cross the road, little ally way, takes you straight to the IVY restaurant, and high street, hotel staff were around, not overly attentive though but present, was kindly given an upgrade to garden view. Rooms were plain in design, shame giving the history but comfortable, bath with shower head, heated towel rail, tea coffee hairdryer,water. Breakfast is help your self, eggs,bacon, sausage mushrooms tomato toast, cereal, fruit yogurts , danishes. Small bar, a cosy lounge. Check in 15:00, you can leave luggage. We would go back.
