"Exceptional"

9.0

Lots. Very convenient location. Very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent quality. Good shower. Nice the windows open.

Very little, the layout of the room could have been better with regard to viewing the television. Need to have more convenient usb charging sockets.

"Very convenient and comfortable hotel with friendly staff."

8.0

We like the ethos. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Parking available. You can walk to the cricket ground and in the evening to many restaurants.

Breakfast can be hot and miss with not everything available. Bathroom fans never switch off.

"A hotel with charitable values, lovely rooms and a great breakfast"

10.0

The person working evening / night was lovely, even though I arrived later than expected. Fresh milk for the room is a lovely touch. Bedroom was really big and bathroom is spacious with an excellent walk in shower. Large comfy bed with decent pillows and cotton bedding. Breakfast is cooked to order and delicious, with proper thick toast (none of that cheap thin bread that you often get these days). Right opposite the station which is great after a long journey. My colleague had driven - registering for the car parking was easy. I love the values of the hotel, which is run by the YMCA, and will definitely stay here again :-)

"Lovely historic hotel with amazing staff."

9.0

The staff were amazing. So friendly, welcoming and helpful. The night watchman was absolutely super. Car parking available no charge. Easy 10 minute walk into town.

Room was rather expensive for what it was. No hair conditioner in bathroom, toilet seat was loose, not enough sockets in bedroom and limited clothes hanging space/ hangers. However I failed to mention any of this during my stay so no opportunities for the wonderful staff to remedy these minor issues.
