Always welcoming
Pros:

This is currently my favourite hotel in the area. Lovely and peaceful with all you need.
Prem plus room have the addition of air con. Plenty of parking and newly opened restaurant close by (not part of the hotel chain)
The hotel is always clean and so comfortable with all you need if away on business but the main thing about this place is the staff.
They are always so friendly and welcoming with Fridah always remembering me and making my stay that little bit special and nothing is too much trouble. She’s amazing.
The whole team here needs to be recognised for the amazing service they deliver. I will be back very soon.

No warning of restaurant closed until arrival!
Pros:

I booked this accommodation in Nov 2024, as we attend an annual function. On booking I rec'd email confirming room and x2 breakfast. Arrived just prior to book-in time and was informed that this location not longer provides meals from next door!! I rec'd no emails to inform me of this. If I had I would have cancelled my booking. We were planning to have a late lunch on arrival and were looking forward to a late breakfast Sunday morning due to midday check out. Staff informed me I could drive to another location to have food!! Where was the email informing me that the terms of my stay (contract) had changed?

Fabulous gem of a Premier Inn
Pros:

Stay here frequently & book the premier plus rooms.
Large rooms beautifully refurbished & spotlessly clean, great decor, smart glamorous bathroom. Love the window which opens as well as well as the air con. Beautiful views over countryside.
Bed always really comfortable & fridge so useful for our long stays & table & chairs good for dining.
Location fab, near to town but great road access.
Parking free which is excellent.
Last but not least, the great staff who are always so friendly, helpful & polite, shout out to Frida & James. Just top notch.

Great staff and great service
Pros:

The staff at this Premier Inn are fantastic. Really friendly and accommodating. They looked after us very well providing us with fans as the weather was hot and locating us on the ground floor as I was recovering from a broken ankle. Although the location is on a big roundabout, it is very easy to get to lots of places from there. I highly recommend this Premier Inn

Friendly staff, clean and tidy rooms
Pros:

Fantastic staff, really friendly and welcoming.

Room was very clean, it was the plus room so nice having the air con, mini fridge and posh shower gels. Only disappointment with room was the size of bed, always used to king size at premier inn, not sure why it has become smaller, prehaps my fault when I booked

Sadly the pub next door is being refurbished so we were recommended to go a couple of miles down the road to the next premier inn which we did and had a nice breakfast there.

Very comfortable stay in refurbished room
Pros:

Very comfortable stay. Newly refurbished room which was great for layout and furnishings. Nice bathroom with excellent shower. No dining options but we knew this at the time of booking. Complimentary breakfast bar was a nice touch. Extra tea and coffee available in reception. Plenty of parking and good location for our road trip.

Weekend break to attend Santa Pod
Pros:

Our weekend stay at Premier Inn was perfect.
Nice and clean, lovely sized room and the bed was so comfortable.
Only one thing, but not a criticism the room was very hot. The fan was useless, but we appreciate it was a hot weekend.
Glasses would be nice in the room as well
But overall a fab stay

Top hotel
Pros:

Nicola was fantastic. Did everything in her power to make my stay perfect. Room was immaculate. Showers powerful and beds are lovely and comfy.
I really like the idea of having extra coffee and tea etc in the entrance for you to top up with. I always want more than is usually left in a room. Here you just take what you need!! Perfect!!
Thank you Nicola.
Kind regards
Steve.

Hotel fine. Beware the Breakfast!!
Pros:

The hotel is great and the hotel staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. However, BEWARE the brekkie at the Green King Pub next door. This is NOT a normal breakfast experience you would expect from a Premier Inn. Dirty, empty, burnt pastries, no choice, warm milk, no staff. Just horrendous. I have attached photos. The Premier Inn staff were so apologetic and apparently the pub is closing down in Jult 2025. 4 starts for the Hotel but don't waste you money on the brekkie and avoid at it all costs.
