We loved the central location of the hotel. The room was spacious and clean. Just a bit noisy overnight but I suppose it’s to be expected when you’re on the main road.
Would definitely recommend

Hotel rooms are very nice - stylish and comfortable, so would stay there again. Pub downstairs not so much and trust the other reviews on the food - *do not* eat there. Food was overpriced and inedibly bad, layout was confusing and wall of sports betting not so nice.

Country pub stay with class
A delightful stay, super modern rooms with beautiful little touches. It was a bonus having breakfast boxes each morning. A little morning noise from traffic but nothing to bad.

Excellent position in the high street. Very quiet overnight. Spacious room. Couple of mild dislikes - parking a bit limited and poorl3y signed. Tea and coffee very ordinary in the room. Overall a comfortable well priced stay.
