Cleanliness
9
Multiple reviews call the hotel 'very clean', 'super clean', 'clean and new' and praise bathrooms and showers, supporting a strong cleanliness score.
Service
9.5
Service is consistently highlighted as a strength: staff described as friendly, welcoming, very helpful (several mentions by name), justifying a very high service rating.
Location
8
Location is praised for proximity to train station and easy walk to town, but several guests note road and rail noise which reduces the score slightly.
Room Quality
8
Rooms are described as sleek, modern, spacious and generally comfortable, but multiple comments about firm/too-hard mattresses, pillows and some cold rooms/thermostat limits temper the rating.
Amenities
7.5
Facilities are described as modern and excellent, but practical amenity issues noted (no towel racks/hooks, limited parking, poor in-room coffee) lower the score.
Value for Money
8
Guests mention reasonable room pricing and good quality breakfast/food, though extra charges (notably £10 parking) and some pricey menu items moderate perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast and evening meal are repeatedly described as excellent with good choice and quality; isolated complaints about coffee and one poor cooked breakfast are outweighed by positive remarks.
Overall Experience
9
Overall sentiment is very positive ('lovely stay', 'fantastic', 'pleasant surprise'), with excellent staff and food driving a strong overall experience despite some minor issues.
* This sentiment is summarized by AI based on user reviews.

Good accommodation for an overnight stay for myself and my sister.
Pros:

Good accommodation and breakfast.
Friendly staff.
Reasonable price for a twin room and breakfast for two adults.

Cons:

Had to pay £10 for parking.
Fairly noisy near a road.
A wider selection, not just basic tea and coffee would be appreciated e.g. decaffeinated (a small selection was available in the breakfast room).
A small point - I didn’t notice the nuts and seeds until after I’d eaten the cereal as they were placed near the spreads/jams etc. Also, bananas were brought out later.
