Pros:

Location and grounds.

Cons:

A birthday party that disturbed our being able to sleep until after 1:30 am. The noise from the entertainment was so loud there was no way to block it out.

Excellent over all - some small tweaks would have made it awesome.
Pros:

The location was beautiful. The staff were friendly. The hotel was clean. Food was sensational.

Cons:

The room I was in there were pigeons roosting in the small space that was outside my window.
There was zero view unfortunately, only a brick wall.
The Tv was ok, a bit dated and didn’t work with sound on my Apple TV. Worked ok with the hotel cable set up but poor picture quality.
The steam room was out of order.

Comfortable room, friendly staff, overcharged due to out of date prices in the room information
Pros:

Lovely location and friendly staff

Cons:

The information in the room was so out of date that we ordered two meals from the room service menu marked as £11.95 and £9.95 with a surcharge for room service of £5 only to be charged £34. We were really disappointed and would not have ordered from that menu if we had known their current prices. We were not offered a refund.

Also the remote control for the tv didn’t work and it was hard to see the buttons on the tv itself to change channel manually.

Awful night sleep and no basic bed quality or air in the room. Hotel should have a warning about not having a working wi
Pros:

It’s beautiful outside

Cons:

The room was AWFUL! The mattresses desperately need replacing. Not only was every spring felt the bed was also slanting down by the headboard which was extremely uncomfortable.
The window was cracked and covered. There was only an option to open it by about few inches however it was around one foot in front of a brick wall from another part of a building which was really high so there was no way of seeing even what the sky looks like. The room was extremely stuffy and after opening the windows because there was no air circulating you could smell sewage from other people flushing toilets. We have requested another fan and we got one that was broken and didn’t work.
If we weren’t there for a wedding we would have left. The rooms are not fit for sleeping in.

Did what it said on the tin, but could do with investing in the place.
Pros:

Location of the hotel worked for the reason of our visit. The hotel grounds are well kept and it was easy to find.
The bathroom in our room had recently been replaced.

Cons:

Dated - the room felt dated and in places dirty it could do with a good clean and refresh.
We had a floodlight outside our bedroom window which let in a fair bit of light through the night, it never went off.
Breakfast - wasn't really value for money and was a let down.
No hairdryer - had to go to reception to ask for one, this is quite a basic item. If the Premier Inn can provide then I expect this in a hotel room.
