A lot of traffic noise with the road so close behind the hotel, but with secondary glazing and window closed this was kept to a minimum

Pros:

Excellent service,clean room,brilliant food especially full english breakfast.Only stayed 2 nights wished we had stayed longer.Will definately stay there again.

Cons:

We had twin beds which we booked but both had heavy double duvets .It was a warm spell and this made sleeping difficult,so much so that we both slept on top of the duvets.There was no alternative bedcovers in the room.A couple of single spare sheets would have been great.Other than that an excellent stay.

Nice place to stay but not as good as our previous visit.
Pros:

The breakfast was disappointing as they had run out of a few things.

Cons:

Asked for an upstairs room but which was accepted when booking but got a ground floor room. The food wasn't as good as the last time we stayed.

Comfy Inn, nice rooms and good food.
Pros:

hotel rooms are nice and cosy,. the pub / restaurant has very good dinner food and the staff is very friendly

Cons:

was there for business and could not make the breakfast as it only starts at 7.30. Would be nice if that could be early. appreciate the take away breakfast but that is just a bagel and banana bread.

Pros:

Spacious comfy room. Well sound proofed from noise of roads.

Cons:

Not internally soundproofed so with wooden floors all neighbouring rooms noises echoed, children running upstairs and TV, next door door banging, noise seemed accentuated.

Would stay again
Pros:

Staff were very friendly. The room was perfect, bed very comfortable. Accessible room as I use a wheelchair and no issues.

The dog had the best holiday!
Pros:

Everything and everyone was so lovely

Cons:

Only thing that lost a score from us were the pillows. Nothing to them and couldn't get comfortable with them.

Pros:

Location, building it lovely. Good food and breakfasts. Staff friendly. Very clean.

Cons:

Only one bedside table. Hard to control the heat. Would be useful to have a little bench in the bathroom for clothes. And the cold water tap in the bathroom turns the wrong way, but that's just being picky.

Excellent service and delicious food, dinner was lovely and breakfast in particular was awesome
Pros:

Really comfy beds, nicely decorated.

Cons:

Just unfortunately apparently the mastic had just been refreshed in the bathroom so there was a bit of a strong smell which I queried, but the bathroom fan was very strong and we just kept the door closed and it was fine. Staff were really great about it and gave us the option to change rooms if we wanted, although we would've had to move to a double instead of a twin so we stayed put.
