Mixed cleanliness: several guests reported dust, cobwebs and inconsistent room cleaning; other guests found rooms and bathrooms spotless.

Location
9.4
Consistently praised central location, convenient for town centre and attached pub; considered a major strength by multiple guests.
Room Quality
8.6
Rooms generally described as comfortable, cosy and in some cases spacious with good beds; occasional comments about smaller rooms or stairs to certain rooms.
Amenities

Good amenities including an attractive bar, complimentary tea/coffee and parking, but parking fills quickly and there were isolated issues (pigeons in eaves, carpark incidents, awkward stairs).
Value for Money
8.2
Viewed as good value by many guests ('reasonably priced', 'met expectations'), though service/cleanliness issues reduced perceived value for some.
Food and Beverage
8.4
Food generally rated very positively (excellent breakfasts and hotel food), but some guests found breakfast options limited for vegetarians and there were isolated incidents (sour milk).
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall positive and many guests would return or recommend, but the stay was tempered by inconsistent cleanliness and service shortfalls for a minority of guests.

Pros:

Situation with parking. Room reasonably comfortable. Staff tried to be helpful and breakfast okish.

Cons:

We have stayed 3 times over a month and allocated the same room. 1st time television didn't work but thought I was pressing the wrong buttons. 2nd time asked and staff tried to help ,then offered another which we declined as it meant repacking. 3rd stay asked about the tv ,told ok. No. Asked for another room, got there to find it not made up so had to stay withe the original. TV got mended as we were leaving.
The hotel could do with a deep clean and some refurbishment. Only ate dinner once not again.

Well worth another visit the nearby river and parks afforded us some very pleasent walks
Pros:

It was in a central location on high street with private parking to the rear. The staff were very attentive and professional and changed our room to a ground floor room with no problems.

Cons:

I cannot think of anything that we didn’t like.
