Very good service from the staff. Parking is limited so I recommend parking in the train station car park which has a reasonable fixed rate for 24 hours.

Over night stay

Over night stay for connecting train. Great location, only 2 mins from train station. Shame I missed breakfast because of an early start.

Average stay

It was average Staff were helpful but lacked friendliness. There was no evening meals unless you wanted room service and was limited to Indian food. Breakfast was average. Basic English breakfast. Ok for 1 or 2 nights stay

This is a lovely hotel and the staff were all amazing from check in to check out. The restaurant is a curry house basically but the quality is excellent. I stayed on a Saturday night and was facing onto the Main Street. The locals kept me entertained with their night out but as I had an early start it was not ideal. The room was clean, facilities were good and everything worked. A good choice.

Beautiful hotel once inside, but the outside area was disappointing. The area looks like its in the middle of a rejuvenation so hopefully that will add to the hotels appearance.the rooms were comfortable we had a suite, which was comfortable and clean. During the night we were woken up by cars revving their engines up the street.

The rooms are beautiful clean modern well decorated and fresh. The breakfast is a complete letdown from the coffee machine to the cereal choices to the toaster. The cooked breakfast was cooked well but the choice of sausage was dreadful, clearly the value range. If I’d stayed more than one night I’d have gone out for breakfast and coffee. Oh and the tv didn’t work correctly. I’d stay again for the room and the value but go out for brekkie.

It was very noisy and there were young people outside shouting, playing loud music from their cars and fights were breaking out from the bars and pubs around us of which we didn’t know were around us.x The receptionist was quite abrupt and rude when we checked in and the next day when we went to breakfast she was there to check us in for breakfast and had the same attitude. Parking was ridiculous! It was a tiny triangle of concrete next to the hot that could fit about 3 cars. The best thing about our stay was the breakfast.

Don't stay here

I found the hotel, very lapse and not up to date. Paint peeling, wood laminate separating, had to mend the shower hose/ head with elastic bands to be able to use it. Restaurant not open although stating on booking it was! Breakfast was small, greasy and un edible. Although coffee and toast was good. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!

The hotel was excellent but an especial thanks must go to the vary friendly and helpful staff. Maisy, the receptionist was charming. Her relief - I regret I cannot remember his name, also really pleasant. I had a tight schedule, needing to get to a school 10 minutes drive away, for 07.30. Breakfast started at 07.00. Not intending to stay, I popped in for a coffee at 07.00. Staff insisted in providing a cooked breakfast very quickly which they did. Pat on the back, please, to the owners/manager.

Great hotel but be aware of the lift

Lovely hotel, great rooms, good staff, have stayed many times. I feel that i need to mention the lift it is old, slow and doesn’t work effectively. I was on the 3rd floor and could not get the lift to stop there, i would press the correct button and it would only go to 1st or 2nd floors and I'd walk up the stairs to get to my room, for people with mobility issues this could be a problem. I spoke to a couple who told me that they got stuck in it for a short period of time. It is a fantastic hotel and i will stay again but bare the lift in mind.

Don’t bother with this hotel

Bit of a joke, leak from the ceiling, no one to report it to & costs £20 extra for just one hour late check out when the cleaners hadn’t got there anyway. Hotels.com curlier service shocking, 2 hours on the phone with no answers so don’t think I’ll bother with either again.

Good but not excellent

We enjoyed our stay and the curry we ate was excellent. We were given free parking as our car had bikes inside which was really helpful, keeping the bikes and the car safe. Unfortunately the waitress/bar person on the Monday night was obviously very new so not very helpful. The breakfast was poor, no boiled eggs (!!) and the poached egg was over cooked and only one egg. Portion size of my partner’s full English was very small. A shame as the hotel itself was very nice. Our aircon didn’t work but we were given a fan which was good.

Good and not so good.

This place is great on the inside but the outside is terrible. There is just no kerb appeal. the whole of the exterior needs attention. If I was a passer by looking for a place, I probably would not give it a second look. It is only because of the internet and being able to see reviews and the interior that made it a choice. The parking is a rough area next to the hotel and limited to 6 cars at the most. However there is on street parking nearby between 6pm and 8am. Bed very comfortable and size room is great. The indian restaurant is great. Breakfast is a little limited but adequate if you do not expect too much choice. Overall I would still give it an 8 out of 10
