Damp rooms
Pros:

The room was dangerously damp you are hit by the smell of damp when you enter the room, there was no room alternative so we had to stay there or sleep in the car which isn't really a choice with a 5 year old. I had trouble breathing in the morning.

Horrible smell in bathroom
Pros:

Location good for The Farmers Dog pub.
Hotel bathroom had a very strong smell of drains. Complained to the reception staff and they said they would look into it. Smell did not go all the time we stayed there.
Had to ask for our room to be cleaned. The receptionist said we were late leaving our room and he would ‘see what they could do’.
On arriving back to our room that evening, we had clean towels and our bed made (with the same dirty sheets).
We were not given clean cups, spoons or had our teas and coffees topped up.

Chef !
Pros:

The chef was rude and sarcastic I asked is there any sausages and eggs he said they will be 12 minutes I told you already he said, had not even spoke to him !
After sitting down next couple that came in waited 15 minutes on there table before going up asking for black pudding and eggs again being rude to them smirking and head shaking.

some staff could do with customer service training
Pros:

came with my daughter and arrived 15 mins early. The fella on reception ignored our arrival and was busy chatting to another member of staff. A family walked in to check in and he served them straight away even though he clearly saw us waiting. We felt invisible! Our room had a funny smell and I had to ask for coffee sachets and toilet roll for our room. For a newish building it was a little run down with bricks missing out of the walls.

Such potential ruined by smell
Pros:

Mixed review
Starting with the negative. I had read reviews about smells but thought might have been sorted. There was a sick smell in our room (1st floor) and smelt of nappies in corridor. I heard a lady complain of sewage smell in her room on 2nd floor. Needs to get sorted!! Such a shame as food is lovely and staff really make it!! Laura, Zac and Pauline were really helpful.

Lovely hotel and friendly staff
Pros:

Lovely stay. Hotel was clean. Staff were friendly, breakfast was good. I did feel for the staff as they were covering both reception and the breakfast and were so busy, but if we asked for something they sorted without hesitation.

Not great…
Pros:

Had to drive home late at night with two young children. Check in is poor, one machine is out of use for self check in and the other had some glitches. There was someone manning the restaurant for assistance but it’s not ideal for customers or for the staff. Our room smelt of sick and was unpleasant. We also noticed there were only two towels in the room, a bath towel and a smaller hair towel, given this was a family room with 4 people on the booking, I found it odd. The room was also very small for a family and smaller than other Premier family rooms we’ve stayed in before. Apparently there were no other rooms to move us too. A two hour drive home and a disappointing experience. Our two children were excited to stay and we have booked breakfast for the next morning. This is the second time we have had a poor experience with a Premier Inn in the last 12 months and I don’t think we can rely on them for good service. Also the second time we have had to pay for parking, is this becoming a new thing for Premier? No thank you…. Might be Travelodge next time for us!

Gone downhill...terrible breakfast!
Pros:

The rooms are standard clean and predictable; exactly what is needed. However the windows are sealed, theoretically there is a ventilation system...completely ineffective. The ventilation system in the room makes a constant noise making sleeping a slight problem. The water temp never reached anything belong lukewarm.
The Breakfast used to be above average; it has gone down hill. We stayed 2 days and had the pricey £10.99 breakfast.
The eggs were rubbery (unbelievably rubbery), the bacon was almost uncooked and at NO point were all of the individual components of the breakfast (eggs, sausages, bacon, hash browns etc... etc...) available at any one time. The breakfast preparation was slow, the cook behind the counter was grumpy. Quite a disappointment for over £40 for 2 morning breakfasts.
