⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lovely Stay – Clean, Comfortable & Great Service
Pros:

Lovely Stay – Clean, Comfortable & Great Service
Stayed here recently and was really impressed. The room was lovely and exceptionally clean, with a very comfortable bed that made for a great night’s sleep.
The menu had plenty of good options, and everything we tried was well-presented and tasty.
A special thank you to Lauren, who was always very attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Her customer service really stood out and made the experience even better.
Overall, a great stay and would happily return. Highly recommended!

excellent accomodation
Pros:

Premier Inn Plus rooms are absolutely brilliant, lovely and comforatble, quiet and a great nights sleep to be had. I stayed 2 nights, 1 in a premier plus room and 1 in a standard double, and both were very nice indeed, in fact this is one of the better premier inns that i have stayed at and i have stayed at many over the years. the only thing i would say, is that it could be signed better, as in the dark it is very difficult to see the sign, but if anyone arrives after dark, the entrance is not far after the 30MPH sign. Car parking is ample

Good hotel - Brilliant staff
Pros:

I was a lone traveller on business & upgraded to Prem Plus room. Loads of parking here - remember and confirm your reg no. Staff were brilliant, friendly and professional. breakfast is cooked to order (no waste food buffet here). Room was brand new and the in-room coffee machine and chocolates were a nice touch.
I have clients in the area and will stay here again.

Bad atmosphere
Pros:

As a lady travelling alone, this hotel had a lot of scruffy workmen staying, I felt uncomfortable being surrounded by so many men. !
It was not a relaxing hotel to stay in.
There was a lot of tension going on with the staff.
I did not like the atmosphere in this hotel.
Saturday night was better as more families came to stay.
Access and parking were very good.

Once again first class
Pros:

We have just returned from yet another lovely stay at this premier. We visit every six to eight weeks to see our family .
Once again we couldn't of had better service.
From reception staff to the lovely waitresses of an evening. Evening meals are always excellent and service very efficient!
We especially find Bee very very helpful and attentive. Bee always has a warm welcome for us and goes out of her way to make sure we have everything we need.
Bee in our opinion is a real asset to the company !
We are looking forward to booking our next stay .

Needs improving
Pros:

Premier plus rooms were spacious, modern and clean with good air-conditioning and good water pressure in the shower (sadly no bathtub). There were plenty of parking places available and staff was smiling and polite.
Wifi - even the ultimate option was slow and kept disconnecting.
The place seemed understaffed. Long wait to be served at breakfast and while it was unlimited the selection was very limited - no cold cuts, no cheese, no mayo (no omelette option), no hot chocolate.
Poor communication - we asked for a late check out and were told we can leave at 12.45. We gave our room number but the house keeping were not told and bothered us depsite the do not disturb sign displayed and the keycard stopped working at 12 already which meant we had to go back to reception to get it sorted and we were in the room the furthest possible from the reception.

Poor hotel
Pros:

Pretty dirty, corridors had used plates and smelled of egg. Receptionist never told me to enter my registration number so got a parking fine. Car park has small spaces. Tea and coffee is the room is horrendous and kettle was pretty dirty.

Go, stay here, the staff are wonderful and lovely.
Pros:

Wow!! What a lovely team of staff!! Always willing to please and so lovely / approachable / helpful and nothing was too much effort. Thanks everyone!
Breakfast and evening meals were lovely (we did thank the chef too), and apart from we should of booked an air conditioned room, the whole hotel was a smaller premier inn but the staff made the stay perfect.
