Best nights sleep this year from 12 hotels.

From check in to check out, nothing was to much trouble for the staff. Needed to print a couple of documents out that id forgotten to pack. Not a problem, emailed them and they printed them without any bother. Room was the perfect size with a very comfortable bed. Been a real building and not a prefab, the walls were nice and thick so no hearing other guests in their rooms. Bathroom was suprisingly large, modern, and extremely clean. The shower was a walking with actual room to swing the proverbial cat, a powerfull shower that was straight forward to use, and one that can be held to rince the places fixed showers cant reach unless you hand stand. Wifi was free, easy to connect and fast enough to stream a film without freezing up. After stopping at a dozen hotels this year so far around the UK, i can honestly say, this provided the best nights sleep mile a mile. Id like to say a big thank you to all the staff here from the Reception team, to the housekeeping staff, a very big thank you for making my stay such a good one leaving me refreashed for the day ahead at the South of England Show Ground just up the road.

Birch Hotel Stay

Great hotel and a welcome tour down history. Nice rooms, modern renovations and has everything needed inside rooms. Luggage was carried up to room for me as staircases are quite narrow, but it's part of the old character of hotel and beautifully maintained. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'd stay here again anytime

Hotel advertised with Restaurant but not available

During check in we were informed there was no Restaurant service although we had chosen this Hotel as it had Restaurant facilities and the listed menu suited our tastes. We attempted to get clarification of when the the Restaurant would open and it was suggested not during our 4 night stay. As can been from the attached photo only soup and sandwiches could be offered for Dinner although it was noticeable functions were catered for during our stay. We were disappointed that reception would not provide any guidance of alternative places to obtain dinner in the area. We were therefore required to look for ourselves in a unfamiliar area. Reading reviews this does not appear to be a one off experience so beware of what is offered. We believe the Hotel should have given prior warning that this service was not available.

Property is in a lovely location, however.., bath plug - release mechanism is faulty so unable to drain bath, air-con - sounds like a helicopter gunship, also currently no chef on site so they are unable to serve evening meals.

Good value for what you get

Clean towels were left on floors outside rooms by cleaners whilst servicing rooms. Pleased I didn’t see this before using them! First time I’ve been asked by a cleaner if I’m leaving so that they can service my room. Normally cleaners have this information. Staff could be a little friendlier in certain areas. Breakfast ok.

Friendly staff, pleasant dining option within the hotel in quiet residential neighbourhood a few minutes’ walk away from the local hospital. Rooms were clean and well maintained. No lift to upper floor. Free parking, and reasonable value when we stayed, and the breakfast was nice (extra charge).
