    Breakfast was "fine" They had stopped doing cooked breakfasts which surprised me as we were expecting that from our information. The cold foods were nice though.

    The staff, location, cleanliness, were all excellent. Room was quiet and a nice size with very comfortable bed.

    Didn’t know there was no lift!! Difficult stairs for seniors. No hot breakfast option - even porridge or hot eggs would be nice.

    It was very central and not a massive chain hotel. Lovely lobby area to sit with drinks in the evening. Breakfast very well laid out.

    I think maybe we might have just hit a bad day but breakfast wasn’t that great but it was sufficient enough. Or we’re just fussy eaters !

    I liked that the staff were so accommodating and central to the town. Beds were very comfortable and rooms also. I would like to specially mention that Patrick went above and beyond for us , he went to the effort to making sandwiches as we couldn’t get food anywhere since we arrived late with horses for the show week. He had a great personality and manner. Couldn’t ask for better.

    It could do with a face-lift.

    The location was excellent, the receptionists were very friendly and pleasant. The room was nice and clean. We were at the front of the hotel so it was a bit noisy.

The girl serving on her own for breakfast was so professional and friendly and went above and beyond to look after us.

    It’s in the town. The staff were lovely. No issues. Room was very nice. Breakfast wasn’t a hot breakfast but we’d been emailed in advance but you couldn’t fault the service or the quality. Plenty of variety and loads to eat. Top marks.
