We stayed there twice on holidays and the facilities were lovely. The hotel does not have a reception desk and we did no
Pros:

The Howfield is located minutes away from the train station. Everything was clean and the hotel relatively new so everything was in perfect order.

Cons:

If you are staying on the third floor, there isn’t a lift so carrying heavy luggage up three floors is a workout.
