Although this hotel is slightly outdated, could probably do with a freshern up (the reception smelt a bit musky). The receptionist was lovely and the hotel staff very friendly. The bed was suprisingly comfortable and I slept well.

Property was a little dated and could do with a make over breakfast was included but we missed 1st days as didnt open till 8am and we had to leave by 7.30am to get to where we where going they did say they would arrange for us to have some croissants but nobody was around!!! Water needed to be hotter in bath room was impossible to fill bath as water not hot enough and would have taken hours to fill then be cold. Bar and restaurant where not open. Breakfast on 2nd day available had to wait to be refilled and could have done with being warmer.

A Room with a View

Part of the Sure Collection of Best Western. Really nice setting with 2 pubs directly across the road for dining options. My room was on the ground level and looked directly on to the car park so the car was only a few feet from the door which was really convenient. Really nice and friendly staff and very helpful. The room was really well decorated, up to date and clean. A nice big, comfy bed and double headed shower. There was a lovely view of the river which ran outside of the hotel. Breakfast was really well cooked and got the day off to the best start. Great value for money stay with only a couple of minor things stopping a 5 out of 5 review but would definitely look to stay here again.
