St Nicholas Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the St Nicholas, for a gig at the Castle, which is part of the George over the road where reception, bar, restaurant etc are. Location couldn’t be better. Room was fairly standard, but very clean. A bit noisy as fronted onto the High St but didn’t interrupt our sleep. The George is an old coaching inn and a beautiful building. The staff were all extremely friendly, the bar we used at the end of our night out was full of character and the breakfast served the next morning was excellent."

8/10 Good
"During our stay there was a wedding party and the hotel was fully booked. There appeared to be staff shortages/new staff! This meant things took a little longer or needed a bit of extra staff training/help. Unfortunately there was also a wine shortage after several very busy events over the last 2 weeks! However we are patient people and ALL available staff were hardworking and friendly. Special mention to Ceran, Reese, Kyle, and sorry forgot name of the welding apprentice in the bar team. They went above and beyond. We had a room upgrade which was very gratefully received and a beautiful card for our Anniversary-thank you Molly! The pool and spa were great and especially loved the outdoor hot tub. It’s a great hotel, all the breakfast and evening meals were delicious. We would return if in the area."

"We stayed for one night as a family of three. The staff were so nice from arrival to departure. The reception staff were really friendly and helpful and it was a happy and relaxed environment. We also found that the member of staff who greeted you when you were swimming was also a really happy, friendly man - these all made such an impact on our stay. I guess the only thing which would have made our stay better would have been a fridge in the room to keep our drinks cool - but the air conditioning was a dream! We would definitely stay again."
