  • Disliked: Cleanliness

Room was ok, but too warm: with windows open there was a lot of noise from the car park. Whole place is in need of decoration, particularly corridors with their 70s magnolia woodchip. Worst part was breakfast - not ready at 8.15. Had to wait 20 mins for order to be taken, the additional 20 mins to arrive.Ordered coffee and eventually a box of instant sachets arrived with two jugs of hot water. Brekfast room is not attractively positioned with a view of air conditioning and loading bays of nearby retail buildings. This hotel has great potential but for the moment it's massively disappointing.

    Christmas break, literally No room at the Inn !!

    Where to start ? 1. the unanswered phones, and "broken" answerphone. 2. the unattended reception area (was 11pm), took us 40 minutes to find someone who worked at the Hotel. 3. the booking, a double room for two nights, and only a single available. 4. When found, the temporary Duty Manager was incredibly helpful and managed to source another location for us to stay for these two nights. Thank you Joe. We have complained to Greene King who have informed us that there is a new General Manager who is addressing these issues. Hopefully the next time we visit the area this unpleasant experience can be overwritten with a better one.

    Nice hotel, nice town, hotel is older and could use more amenities. Food in restaurant was delicious, especially enjoyed the Sunday roast. Pub was nice, warm and friendly. Nice shopping in the town market area, very quaint and an easy train ride from London. We were there to attend a local Christmas folk concert which was wonderful.
