Stayed here on Saturday 4th May and Sunday 5th May and stayed in a room with my partner. It was my brother’s wedding on the Sunday so a large number of rooms were reserved by him in advance for his wedding guests to pay on arrival. My partner and I had our room booked separately along with my mothers who... More

Our room was large, in modern style, very clean and the bed was huge and comfortable! The hotel has its own restaurant and its own 'pub'.... More

This is typical of a Victorian 'Railway Hotel' the likes of which can be found near any major railway station throughout England. Built in the heyday of the railways at the latter end of the 19th century (a date stone dates it to circa1899) it is truly a grand hotel. The aesthetics of the beautiful staircase greeting you in the... More

The hotel has comfortable rooms with all the normal things you would expect (tea, coffee, ironing board). Nothing exceptional. I stayed here for 3 weeks for work and the advantage was its closeness to amenities within the town). The hotel professes an "arrangement" with the Springs gym but the reception staff knew nothing about it. The restaurant - a few... More
