The Phoenix rises from the flame
Pros:

The hotel contacted me explaining the situation after the flood some facilities were not available. I personally seen the damage done and they should be proud they have achieved. This my second time staying there and I will be back. Great hotel.

Cons:

Nothing. The staff were excellent even though they could have lost everything.

Pros:

Great location as a base to explore the area. Considering the problems caused by the flooding last November I think the owners have done remarkably well and are still battling to get everything in order. Deserves supporting.

All good

Great value and friendly
Pros:

Staff were really helpful and friendly - thanks Matt and Sally! Room was fairly basic but good value for money, comfy bed and decent shower.

Didn't meet expectations for the advertised room
Pros:

The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean with coffee facilities. Clean towels and bedding.
I hope the support from the party guests help get them back on their feet after the flood, but wasn't worth the price paid for the room

Cons:

The room smelled musty. With old fashioned single glazing on windows, making it noisy by the road. The bathroom had a mouldy smell and was grubby around the window seals. The toilet seat was broken also.
No food or breakfast available.
Was not good value for the price paid.
