Excellent location and good price

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was excellent, free parking. The room was big and modern. Comfy beds. Only feedback was they need curtains in the room not just blinds. We will come back again.

Tricky finding the door to the reception which is round the back of the building behind the car park. Friendly chatty hotel staff, happy to help with breakfast choices and to suggest walks in the area. Hotel is close to the The Malls for shopping and The Anvil Theatre, very close to the train station.

Perfect town stay. Very welcoming

We stayed for five nights as visiting family. Very spacious room. Yes the room needs a lick of paint. But clean and lovely big towels. What sells the hotel is that it has really helpful , friendly staff. Very close to town with heaps of shops and restaurants. Also free car park. It has a lovely on-site bar. Only downside no air conditioning and although we had a fan , it was a very hot week for U.K.

An excellent stay.

From entering the Hotel the staff could not do enough for us. Our room was spacious and clean. Every time we entered reception we were always greeted with a smile asked if everything was ok for us. Breakfast was well worth the money. The hotel is very central to the town a 5 min walk. Having stayed in several hotels this is now our number one. We cant wait to return.
