We booked a superior room which was large but was on the noisy side regarding traffic and people on the street. We’ve stayed here before in a normal room on the opposite side and was much quieter. Breakfast (continental) was nice and the waiter was very good and pleasant.

Central hotel, recently refurbished. Free Parking behind the hotel, friendly staff and a decent breakfast, hard to find fault and good value as well.

Good size clean room. Very hot weather and a small fan only in the room. A bigger one would have helped with sleep overnight. Breakfast was in the pizza room and not much selection as staff loading small portions only for customers to choose from. Had to ask for refill a few times. Always a nice stay, helpful staff and this was on a very busy weekend for the music festival. Thank you

Room was ready on arrival and so we were given access about an hour early which was great. Room was clean and comfortable, but basic. Had a fan provided which was appreciated in the very hot weather. The shower over the bath could do with updating. Hotel has good amenities, bar and restaurant. Can recommend the pizzas. The hotel also warns that functions take place especially at weekends and to double check with them because it can be noisy and so not for everyone. The continental breakfast was very pleasant and included in your stay. You could upgrade to a cooked for £10.50. Staff including the cleaning ladies were friendly and helpful. All in all a pleasant stay.

8/10 Very good

Room was small but adequate with a comfortable bed. Unfortunately it was a hot weekend with no air-conditioning available. We took the quilt out of its cover so we could sleep under just the cover, and the quilt itself was badly stained, which gave a bad impression. When we mentioned this to reception they said they would "tell housekeeping". Generally the room decor was a bit tired. Continental breakfast was included which was fine. The pub is popular and has a good atmosphere, good beer, and a big beer garden. Car parking is convenient.
