I use Best Western quite a bit whilst working, but this was a bit of a let down.The biggest shock was the £10 parking charge, hidden away in the terms and conditions that no one every checks. I didn't pay it, I parked elsewhere. No restaurant service on a Sunday! In general not brilliant. Room was cold, especially the bathroom with a totally antiquated electric heater on the wall! Room hadn't been heated prior to my arrival so was really cold.

This hotel is very overpriced, room/bathroom, bed all appalling. Parking was £10 additional to the overpriced room to park in a muddy area at the back of this place. The bathroom was above the kitchen with a very loud extractor fan and seemingly extracted all of the cooking waste into the shower above, choking fumes. The bed was very uncomfortable. The traffic noise from outside was loud. The noise from othet residents and slamming doors was excessive at all hours of the night. I'd not recommend this hotel.

One night stay for a business trip and arrived quite late so restaurant and bar were already closed. Early start so did not stop for breakfast so not able to comment on the food. Room was ok, comfortable and had the usual facilities. Very helpful young lady on reception who lent me a phone charger as I had left mine behind.

The hotel was clean and the staff were super nice. The room was on what seemed to be a 3rd floor which we had to go up these tiny little stairs with luggage. That was hard. Then the bathroom had no flannels/ face cloths to wash with. We had to leave the hot water running in the bathroom for about 20 minutes before it was hot enough to wash with. Then we booked 2 nights but only needed 1 as our plans changed and even though they had not charged me yet and I cancelled a week before I got their they would not credit me for the 2nd night. I also paid for a full English breakfast and when we got to the hotel we were told that they don’t do that until 10am and only continental was available early morning and again would not refund me the extra fee for breakfast. Then we asked about getting dinner and was told as it was a holiday weekend they closed the restaurant leaving us no option but to go out to find food. NONE of this was disclosed up front when ordering which is why I should have received a credit back.

The hotel was easily accessible, clean and friendly. We received a warm welcome and our needs were met as we needed a ground floor room. Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable, but the manager was very obliging and swapped our room, unfortunately the second room was just as uncomfortable. The only problem with this hotel is that they need to invest in some new mattresses. Everything else is wonderful.

Unfortunately we didn’t have the best stay. Couldn’t fault the staff they were brilliant but ………. Our room smelt like scampi and chips most of the night, must of been near the kitchen not sure The floorboards above us were creaking all night with people walking around upstairs so difficult to sleep. The cooked breakfast in the morning was disappointing as very basic and no option for what type of egg you could have as the only available option was scrambled
