    The shower pressure could have been better but we did have an attic room. One room had a bath when a decent shower would have been preferable

    The location was perfect for our one night stay and the rooms were clean and comfortable

    Room 214 on first night was very noisy as it’s on the main road so I couldn’t sleep unless the traffic stopped.

    Very accomodating , friendly staff. Spacious, quiet room 215 , on second night. Excellent staff at breakfast and enjoyed breakfast very much. Excellent cleanliness and proximity to station and centre.

    Stayed with my daughter for a nice catch up as she’s at university in Cambridge . Unfortunately there were workmen out the back working on a building, was hoping for a lie in my comfy bed but the noise was too much , obviously hotel wasn’t to blame for this , just unfortunate for us

    Comfy beds , clean and welcoming

    The only thing I didn't like was that the man behind reception in the evening told me off for taking the key to my room out with me. I didn't realise I was meant to hand it back in whenever I left the hotel, but I didn't appreciate a telling off.

    The room was very clean and perfect for my work stay. Breakfast was great with lots of options and it was served quickly, which is good for getting to the office on time. Location was a few minutes from work so that was a bonus.

    Choice at breakfast a bit limited. Would like more choice of musli, fruit, yoghurt etc The location was next to a very busy road and is the reason I probably won't stay there again. The beds were too hard for my comfort/preference.

    The friendly staff, cleanliness, nice room, close to the centre of town.

    Nothing to dislike really. Room was on the small side but fine for a 2 night stay.

    Location is really good. Within walking distance to the centre. Free parking is also a great plus! Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Table service.

    Shower in bath, with no way of standing up. A better designed ensuite room could have fitted a proper shower. Who wants a bath when on a weekend break?

    Free carpark with plenty of space. Excellent location just a short walk to all the main sights. Room was cosy, bed was comfortable. Staff were helpful. Included breakfast was tasty.

    The only slight down side was that the bed was a little hard for my preference, but that was a minor point.

    The staff were very welcoming and friendly whilst also being very professional. The location was also excellent, just a few minutes walk from the station and an easy walk into the centre of town. It was lovely to stay in a locally owned business rather than a chain hotel, and the personal service reflected this positive benefit. My colleague travelled by car and parking was super easy and there was a lot of flexibility to check in time and being able to leave luggage. Breakfast was very well organised and cooked to order, with good service and pleasant surroundings. Would definitely return.

    Bed was firmer than we are used to but not a huge issue

    Booked this Hotel as the reviews were good and it had parking which is a bonus, especially if you are moving onto somewhere else or want to easily go out in the day/evening. Train station is about a ten minute walk. Hotel and rooms were very clean .We booked a double room but we were upgraded. Nice bathroom and towels. Even though it was near the road we didn't find it noisy. Staff were lovely and helpful and spent time to talk to us and help with any questions. Lovely cooked breakfast, cereal, toast and fruit. Didn't have the evening meal but from what we saw it looked very nice and a good price. Twenty five minute walk up to the river but not a problem and not far into the actual town. Lots of shops. There were places to eat within a ten minute walk of the hotel which we did after a long day of walking. Botanical gardens are five minute walk from the hotel and worth a visit. Stayed Easter weekend Friday to Monday
