This hotel is very run down and dated. The carpets were old and dirty.In the room the lights were either on or off, not possible to have the lamps on by themselves. The shower was a mere trickle.The breakfast was appalling, inedible and cold. A conference type flask was on offer for tea which was stewed and cold as was the flask made available for hot water. Would not recommend staying here. The one positive was Ali, a staff member who was exceptional. He really went out of his way to be helpful.

This hotel’s decor is badly outdated, but the facilities are fine. A comfortable bed in a warm room on a very cold night, clean bathroom with toiletries, and tea / coffee / water provided. Staff were first class & breakfast was superb. Best Western need to invest in this place

We were greeted with a very warm welcome to the hotel. Check in took a matter of minutesm we were then shown to our room. Which was very spacious with a large bathroom.it may have been a little dated, but it added to uts charm we also had the watermill directly outside our room... Breakfast was included and made to order and they also catered for our dietary requirements.

Arrived late in the evening and found there still to be parking available - and the parking area felt very safe. Once checked in the hotel staff showed us to our room and explained where everything was in the room and where and when breakfast was served. The room was slightly dated but clean and there was tea/coffee and biscuits in the room. Staff were all lovely and we enjoyed our stay.

A few niggles getting into my room but this was quickly rectified. Service was great. Alisha looked after me on arrival, and was very helpful. The lock on the door was faulty so she ensured this was sorted out as I needed to pop out. True to her word was resolved on return. Very friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble. Room was nice and clean. Nice view of the brook from the window. No evening meals at the moment, but there are two pubs across the road, one of them offers a 10% discount for hotel guests. Will stay again.
