Provides shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer. Clean and comfortable beds and good breakfast. Pleasant helpful staff. Convenient for what we wantes to do. Stayed many times. Hotel a bit dated in terms of decor and comment on that as that may be important to others but isnt to me. All pluses for my wants and needs = outweigh that)

Squeaky clean and comfortable!

Really pleased with my stay. My room was squeaky clean and very comfortable. I was welcomed by the proprietor, who was very helpful, as was everyone else that I met. This is a gem of a property that is close enough to be a short walk from the city centre, but away enough to be quiet and relaxing. Definitely recommended!

Great stay at the Brookside!

Very restful hotel. Very comfortable, with good atmosphere. Exellent breakfasts. Good location for city access without all the noise of the centre. One small peoblem: the shower in room 19 has a pumped hot water system which swamps the cold water feed. The pressures need balancing, as the shower tends to scald.

Lovely owner and friendly staff. Was able to park the car early. Didn’t opt for the meals due to other arrangements. Nice and clean room, brilliant shower. Would suggest extra pillows being available for the bed, but that is a personal preference. Would definitely stay again.
