Highly Recommended
Pros:

We were made very welcome by all the staff. Everyone smiling and keen to help. Clear explanation of how to use the keys if we were out late. Peaceful and comfortable, lots of outdoor seating so we could enjoy the fine weather. Nice dining room with a good choice of food.
Really enjoyed our stay at the Roundabout. Thank you.

Cons:

Personal preference really but I wasn't keen on the breakfast coffee as I prefer freshly brewed or even coffee pods to filter coffee kept warm on a hot plate.

I didn’t sleep in my room because I couldn’t get my key to work. No answer on the phone or email. I basically paid £100+
Pros:

The hotel is lovely and has a lovely ambiance

Cons:

That I was locked out overnight and had to sleep in my car in the car park

Dissapointing.
Pros:

Proximity to my place of work and plenty of parking spaces. Clean.

Cons:

£54 for my rare ribeye steak, which was well and truly overcooked, and chips that must have been cooked in lava, along with two beers. Miller & Carter prices for Little Chef grub.

It's all just a little bit tired.

Good value for money but could do with a refresh and tidy up of public areas. Friendly local staff.
Pros:

A good location, easy to find, plenty of parking. Very picturesque buildings with some rooms in adjoining buildings. Hospitality tray in the room, friendly staff. Good continental breakfast included.

Cons:

It’s quite old and tired looking, entrance carpet so worn it was quite an off-putting reception area. Dining room with dust sheets over some furniture and piled up cushions in the corner.
The path to the outside rooms had a lot of litter and fallen vegetation which didn’t give a good impression.

Het was voor 2 nachten goed genoeg
Pros:

Het hotel was op een mooie locatie.
In de bar kon je een lekker drankje drinken.
Er was een restaurant en dat was prettig voor de eerste avond.

Cons:

We hadden een kamer waar geen stoel stond om onze kleren op te leggen. We keken uit op de brandtrap en het was gehorig omdat de keuken ergens in onze buurt zat.
