Nice old-style hotel, very well maintained. We really liked the high ceiling, the archer in the room, beautiful stucco moldings, the feeling and atmosphere. In the morning, we enjoyed a tasty breakfast. The staff is kind and willing to help. We enjoyed our staying there.

Great hotel although be careful what type of room you book. It seems the standard rooms are in a b&b type property next door without the same amenities and quality of the main hotel. The hotel itself is lovely, great pool gym and spa, lovely bar and restaurant. Some of the staff are a little gruff on first impression but very friendly and professional.

Nice location but "new" part of hotel isn't great
The hotel had great facilities and is a regular choice for us due to location, parking and the facilities. This time our room was behind the spa area. Noisy and not very good.

I’ve never actually written a bad review for a hotel but this one is bad. Avoid if possible. When we arrived the toilet was clogged with bits of *matter* still in it as well as the sink left with hair and dirt in it. When I went to complain they said they’d take care of it and would leave a bottle of wine as an apology. When we came up 2 hours later-the toilet was fixed but the sink still wasn’t clean. To add insult to injury they left a 3£ bottle of 175 ml wine as the apology. The next morning the breakfast service was also poor as the waitress aggressively placed items on the table with the food being very mediocre. For 400 pounds a night it was a terrible experience. The place is poorly run. Avoid if possible

Lovely friendly staff, the soup for dinner was perfect for cold weather. All hotels pay attention, those little sauce, mayo jars? Cute but annoying if travelling. Swap them out like BW did for the sachets - perfect for those on the go!

Gorgeous hotel, especially for a best western. The rooms are very cosy and clean and the service at the front desk is exceptional. Our only problem we had was that our shower would not run hot water. But we were going into the spa for swimming and used their showers, so it wasnt a problem.

Not expected conditions
We were at these hotel on business trip and stayed 3 nights . At first , we get rooms on the other building which looks like garage with windows. On main website there is no word about that hotel has few buildings. We had heavy luggages with us and no one from the hotel helped us to carry them on the floor. Rooms were clean but seems and smells like storage for brushes. WiFi connection was really poor. Breakfasts were nice but all the time the same. Location of the hotel were nice , close to pubs and restaurants. When we were watching a photos on main website we complete didn’t expect conditions which we get. It’s sad but true. It’s 4 starts hotel and we get camping instead.
