Bed bugs…enough said.

Unfortunately, the conditions of my stay were far from satisfactory, and I am requesting a full refund for the experience. The following issues were encountered during my visit: 1. **Excessive Noise from Water System**: Every time the water ran through the system, whether in the room or from neighbouring rooms, there was an unbearably loud noise, which disrupted my rest multiple times throughout the stay. 2. **Inadequate Curtains**: The curtains in the room were ineffective at blocking light. I had to keep the windows open for ventilation, which meant that I could not achieve complete darkness in the room. This caused discomfort and disrupted my sleep. 3. **Exposed Electrical Cables**: There were exposed electrical cables sticking out of the wall near the headboard of the bed. This was not only unsightly but also raised serious safety concerns. 4. **Bed Bugs**: Most concerning of all, I discovered bed bugs in the room. This issue is a serious health and hygiene concern and, in my opinion, completely unacceptable for any hotel, particularly one that claims to offer quality accommodations.

Excellent service. Very old building so there a few things that are as best as they can be but are not what you may expect. For example, the tub is higher than normal and would be problematic if you are older. Heat seemed to be missing except in the bathroom. Still, we would easily stay there again when we return.

We would stay again!

We had a fantastic huge room and bed with a large ensuite bathroom equipped with bath and double shower. The building is old so sloping floors etc expected, its like an aladdins cave, but we were happy with food, breakfast was a great portion and lots of choice. We had dinner too and a good price for what we had. All the staff were friendly and accommodating.

Plenty of parking, building and reception looked clean and well maintained. However - price charged not price quoted & booked online and once into original part of hotel things didn't look so good. Paintwork throughout needs completely renewing. Being an old building we accept that layout can be 'quirky' but not only did floors creak, everything else did! - bed, chair doors, headboard (not even attached to bedframe). Bathroom was miniscule, though usable, but concerned if had this room in middle of winter how cold it would be as no visible signs of heating? Room and bathroom overall clean but tired and very basic for £101. Breakfast was good (included in price) and available from 7am which suited us as we had a long journey. If you cosider £101 reasonable we had spent the previous night elsewhere at a guest house and paid £85 for far superiour everything! We use Best Western quite a bit around the country and feel that standards have slipped since lockdown and have not improved. Meal in bar was lovely and all items reasonably priced.

Faded

Average hotel with no frills - requested an iron but porter ‘had never been asked for one before’ and couldn’t find one - not the level of service expected from a Best western hotel. Room was clean but uncomfortable bed and pillows and poor flow to shower Will avoid in future which is a shame as in a very convenient location
