"Great location and delicious breakfast hotel a bit old and squeaky and right by a road with no double glazing probably because it's a listed building. but enjoyed two nights stay and I'd return again."

"Very clean and comfortable rooms - good space. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and return/book other Holiday Inns."

"Parking ok clean room and facilities and shop nearby "

"The staff were welcoming initially but when we left on Wednesday 1st April the lady doing the breakfast and checkout was clearly stressed. This resulted in her being abrupt with hotel guests at the breakfast table. We could hear her complaining about lack of staff and that she was having to do too much. She also commented on someone asking for brown and white toast as “being weird”. The bedding and towels were clean but there was mould on the bedroom windows and the bath. The food was great in the restaurant. "

"Parking was available outside the Five Bells and in a couple of spaces reserved for B&B Guests."

"We booked the Lily Room at the Blue Pigeon for our wedding anniversary, hoping for a quiet, restorative escape after a demanding few months. Unfortunately, the stay didn't quite deliver on that promise — though it wasn't without its highlights. Arrival set an unexpected tone. We walked into what appeared to be a large, lively bottomless brunch gathering — very much a party atmosphere — and could barely hear the receptionist over the noise. For guests seeking a peaceful retreat, this was quite a jolt, and felt at odds with how the hotel presents itself. The room itself was genuinely lovely. Beautifully decorated, well-furnished, and thoughtfully put together with real attention to detail — exactly what you'd hope for at this price point, and credit where it's due. Sadly, sleep was impossible. The church directly opposite chimes on the hour, every hour, throughout the night — something we weren't forewarned about. The room also ran very hot despite no radiators being on, and opening the window only amplified the bells. By morning, having had no sleep whatsoever, we missed breakfast entirely so can’t comment on that. The Blue Pigeon clearly has the bones of something special, shows real care in its design. But the overall experience felt confused — the branding suggests a calm, boutique bolthole, while the reality on our visit was quite different. A little more consistency between the two, would consider returning! "
