Key card failed on several occasions. Had to ask for a hair dryer. Had to manually seal the windows to stop the icy cold breeze.

Put only thing that I could say good about this place is the beds are very clean, but the hotel itself is not nice
Johanna, 1-night trip

Good stay but not enough plugs in the room
Charlotte, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The WiFi at the property is virtually non-existent and phone signal is terrible, therefore we felt really isolated while staying there. The staff were friendly and chatty and made up for a less than ideal hotel stay. They are a credit to the company

Business Trio
Great location, picked the Wishing Well as close to where I was working. Very friendly and helpful staff from reception to bar staff will be staying again
Adele, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Travellers on the site put us off checking in so we send elsewhere to eat. Rubbish left all over the place and general mess left behind by travellers visiting the site. Beds like trampolines and pillows like pancakes. No opportunity for a decent nights sleep and woke up aching all over from the awful mattress
Gemma, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Heard a lot bad about this place but was genuinely not too bad. Had a two night stay for work and bed was comfortable, room had a TV with Netflix, Youtube etc. Night staff seemed a bit blunt however day staff were lovely. Didn’t get chance to try restraint / bar but the area looked really nice. Only issue is distance from town centre. No taxis were available including uber and the walk is roughly 30 minutes.
Joseph, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

high level of service.
pleasantly surprise at the level of service. can't fault it at all.
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needs managing
Tired old place but was comfortable, room was ok for the price. Food is average and the staff were more interested in the Euro football on TV than the customers. We ate late due to travel and the kitchen staff just wanted watch the football, on arrival the receptionist was sitting in front of the TV, clearly the place has no effective manager.
Simon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I had read some awful reviews about the Wishing Well but our family booked 3 rooms, one was a family room. All were basic but all were spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We didnt eat here but did use the bar which looked as if it had been recently updated.
Jan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and comfortable but basic
The rooms were clean and comfortable, but basic. The carpets in the corridors are worn and tired, which let it down as an overwll impression. Restaurant and bar was welcoming and plenty of variety to eat.
Joanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

3 star performs as 5
It's a 3 star hotel with 5 star friendliness and service. The furniture is functional but not fresh anymore (e.g. veneer broken or missing).
Robert, 2-night trip

Tired scruffy property in need of refurbishment. Restaurant service poor due to lack of staff.
