"The hotel was a 5/5. A positive experience all round. The cleanliness of the hotel was the best we have been to for a while. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool and gym facilities with the stay were free of charge which was amazing to use. The location is great to get to and from the city centre by car. There is a £7 charge for parking overnight. The room is spacious, fan available when hot. Tea and coffee and milk in room plenty for 2 nights. Bathroom was very clean and modern. Very clean and modern hotel over all."

"Our stay at The Mousetrap was good. Our room was small (which we expected as we'd looked online beforehand), but it was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Only one small thing was there was only around 3 or 4 coat hangers in the wardrobe. We stayed two nights and on day two we came back in the afternoon to find our room had been cleaned. The staff were helpful and we were particularly impressed with Anthony who served us in the restaurant. He had a lovely, friendly manner. The choice of breakfast was excellent and what we had was delicious. The location of The Mousetrap was ideal. Parking was limited, but apart from one occasion, we managed to find a spot."
