Our stay here was good. The staff are really lovely especially Lisa who checked us in. The free parking was good and plenty of spaces.The room was adequate and had everything we needed. The towels were lovely and big! The shower power was great and the hairdryer was a good one not a cheap one. The restaurant and bar area were inviting and the food was lovely. We had breakfast aswell which was good. We did hear dogs barking late at night and early in the morning, apart from that we enjoyed our stay here.

Found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, staff friendly, approachable and helpful. Although earl grey tea was not obviously available it was quickly supplied on request. We travelled with a dog and the room and certain areas of the hotel were pet friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return if we are in the area. Excellent value for money.

Excellent location and the hotel had a bright modern feel inside. Very clean and modern bedroom, great (free) wifi, good tea/coffee making facilities and a comfy bed. Plenty of parking also. Plus a fantastic beer served at the bar called 'Meantime'... worth a try.

The pet friendly room we were allocated was the farthest possible from the parking area. This made it inconvenient for moving in and out though the staff were very willing to help. The main public area was welcoming and clean and the beer was good!

The staff were wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The room was virtually clean although there were a few small marks on the bed linnen and the usb charging socket didnt work. Only 3 plug sockets in the entire room and they were too close to the dresser service that a normal usb plug wouldnt fit in. Bed was comfey and bathroom clean with a lovely deep bath and powerful shower. Bath dripped all night annoyingly. I ordered bar food and had the breakfast and both were underwhelming. Despite it not quite being great value for money,the staff made the trip and I would definitely go back again.

I booked two triple rooms for my family and I. Check in was easy and check staff friendly and efficient. Rooms were clean, quiet. They had enough pillows and towels. The soap and shampoo dispensers were fully stocked. The power shower was great and easy to use. There was hair dryer, ironing board and iron in the room and tea and coffee properly stocked. The lighting in the bathroom and room was nice and bright. I was really impressed by the high standards at the hotel and rooms prices. Excellent value for money and was a great place to stay with my family. I was travelling with children so being able to buy food and drink on site was handy as well as Mcdonalds close by. I would definitely stay at this Best Western again.

Hotel is fine. Standard, non descript business hotel. Room is Ok. But the wi-fi was so bad I had to go elsewhere. No connection. Not my issue as I connected in McDonalds. If reliable wi-fi is a deal breaker, think twice about booking here.

Overall I really liked this hotel. Clean, comfortable and lovely staff. Very good price and dog friendly. Food was served until a good time and reasonably priced. My main issue comes from lack of sensible plug points in the bedrooms. None around the beds in the room we had. No big deal of there are useable points elsewhere but they were above the table which was not moveable in order to create enough space for a plug which feeds downwards as do most phone chargers and plugs in general. There is 1 usb port but it seemed slow. It was a bit of a hassle trying to work off lap top and also charge a mobile phone at the same time, unable to sit comfortably on the bed to do so. Also an extra bedside table for the twin room wouldnt go amis. Otherwise a really pleasant stay.
