A really lovely room!
Pros:

The room was lovely and large. I looked out through trees to the water. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I guess it was further out of town than I realised. I had a car so that didn’t matter but walking distance to NorthHampton would have been good.

You get what you pay for. This was very basic but also not expensive so no complaints and enough food offerings nearby t
Pros:

Clean and good value for money

Cons:

A little impersonal and it’s like the old-fashioned layout in the rooms

The Queys
Pros:

This old premier inn has been taken over by Green King, sadly not run as well.

Cons:

The £50 per room deposit after paying £500 up front for the rooms was a little off putting, especially when told that the hotel had had drug use and rooms vandalism previously made us wonder what kind of place we had chosen to stay!

The Restaurant was loud music, full of screaming children and little staff attending to customer needs, we were told we had the table for and hour and a half only, and then we would have to leave, great customer interaction, not!
