Pros:

In our party we had three rooms, we all commented how cold the rooms were, heating on but not working. One of our parties room was very dirty, having found sanitary wear under one of the chairs.

Pros:

The staffs were super friendly, the breakfast was outstanding. I can tell this hotel has history as so many elderly couples chose there for staying. There is a Morrison just right across the road, and a MacDonald behind the hotel. It perfectly juggle both young and elder generation.

Never Mind the Barracks
Pros:

A couple of miles out of town but well located. Rooms clean and today, breakfast decent quality however the breakfast room itself feels dated and could do with a modern refresh. There’s a lot of empty space in the dining room which could be lifted with some sofas and a tv perhaps to make it feel more welcoming

Pros:

This hotel is like staying at your grandmas house. I didn’t like that I couldn’t open the curtains as the bedroom was directly into the courtyard with people walking through. Because it’s so old it felt dirty which may be a little unfair but the bathroom Lino is definitely not clean around the edges. The carpet has interesting stains! It wasn’t for me and I won’t stay here again

Good comfortable stay
Pros:

Staff were very helpful and room comfortable. For me, the over bath shower was a problem as i had real problems, particularly getting out. More walk-in showers might be a good investment!!
Parking on site is extremely limited, which could be a serious drawback.

Fascinating history
Pros:

Really enjoyed staying at the Garrison. The receptionist gave me a fascinating history of the building and its various uses over the centuries. Cosy little bar, with friendly service.
The hotel was comfortable quiet and the breakfast was outstanding.
I’ll definitely be coming back.

Pros:

The hotel was great - a good sized room, very good value for money and free parking - but the attached bar was disappointing. We returned from an event at c10:30pm to an empty bar and had to ring the bell for service. The lady took some time to appear and immediately told us that she was about to call time - we were the only people in there! 5 people arrived after us - 2 had to plead to be served, the third was told that it was takeaway only and the last 2 were refused service, despite the fact that 7 of us were still sitting there drinking. We were all told to leave bang on 11pm, despite the hotel website saying that the bar was open until 11 (it wasn’t) and being forewarned that they host events at weekends that could cause noise disturbance until 12:30.
