What guests think

Across recent reviews, travellers describe The Waverley Hotel as centrally located with very friendly staff and generally comfortable rooms, while noting recurring in-room Wi-Fi issues, occasional bathroom maintenance problems like shower mould, and some frustrations accessing reception at check-in.

Guests frequently commend cleanliness and cosy touches, with some reporting road noise from single glazing or compact rooms. Meals in the bar and restaurant are praised, but breakfast quality, choice, and serving times are inconsistent. Expect a friendly, no-frills stay in a convenient town-centre setting.

Decided to book this as saw it had won tv programme, been there to eat loads of times but ownership must have changed as decor very poor and shower unit and bathroom water damaged and mouldy. No socket to use apart from tv one at top of wall. Food service also now bar service. Very disappointed

We had room No 1,which was a cubicle shower,which we requested it was very good. The room was cleaned with a little chocolate on both sets of towels which was nice. Breakfast was very good. Staff friendly and had 20% of food for booking on line. I would recommend this hotel/ pub.

The hotel room was cosy & spotlessly clean. Nice big comfortable bed, great shower and nice fluffy towels. We stayed 2 nights. The maid made sure we had fresh towels and we were stocked up on tea, coffee etc. Breakfast was hot and tasty. We also had some lunch in the bar area, it was really nice. Service was 10/10 in the restaurant & bar. Would definitely return.

The shower was full of mold and there was no toilet brush. As I am over 65, it is difficult to carry a suitcase. The young man did not even offer to carry my suitcase of the steep stairs. Tables in restaurant are sticky, but that's just about everywhere. Waitress was friendly.

The room had an overpowering smell from some type of cleaner. It made me nauseated sll night. We left the eindow open so it was not as bad the next day. The shower was moldy. We understood breakfast was served at 7 so went down and wS told it was at 8 that day but would be at 7 the next day. When we went down at 7 the next day we were told it was at 8

Had yet another lovely stay. We have stayed here quite a few times now and we are never disappointed. Staff were lovely, friendly and extremely accommodating. Bed was really comfortable so had a great nights sleep. Rooms were warm and cozy too. Breakfast was ok but I feel it is very limited as I would have preferred maybe that other options to pick from were able that’s my only issue. The lady who does deals with the bookings and front of house went out her way to accommodate our request and she was such a chatty approachable person. Definitely booking again. Highly recommend it.

Stayed in the hotel before and had enjoyed that stay. So felt it was best to book there again. This time the room I was allocated had a shower over a bath but having a disability made it impossible to use. The bathroom floor creaked quite badly every time anyone were to walk over it. The bed was comfortable and room was decent although there was marks on the walls. Needs to a fresh lick of paint. we booked breakfast like previously but on this occasion the breakfast was not very good or up to a good standard. The Beans were dry, (as if they had been kept on a contact heat) the produce ie sausages weren’t pleasant to eat neither was the potatoe scone. All I could eat in total from the breakfast was the toast.so feel that I didn’t get value for the money on this occasion.
