Property very tired, but everything I needed for 2 nights in room and shower both worked well and had non-slip surface and grab handle - something that more expensive places often fail on. Staff friendly and helpful and breakfast was good.

Quiet Location off the main drag was good with some nice eateries round the corner. Owners were really helpful and friendly although let down by the (forgetful?) housekeeping. The facilities and decor were somewhat in need of TLC but on balance enjoyed the stay

The mattresses were old and uncomfortable, bed sheets and duvet covers outdated needs upgrading. The room furniture needs to be changed for a modern look. Other than that breakfast was great and location was great.

Peter was extremely nice and welcoming. Great location. Breakfast for an additional £10 was good and there was plenty of food freshly cooked. Parking is normal street parking on the road. Pets are allowed. Interiors might be old, but this is a typical old-style English hotel - you know what you get.

Quiet good value hotel near the Wish Tower.
Nice quiet location, close to front. Easy to park, close to the theatres, tennis and central for shops and all transport links. A friendly and caring owner, we had a warm comfortable room. The decor is adequate; remember that the building is in a line of Victorian town houses - so do not expect 1970's architecture or chic design. It is clean, welcoming and a good base for the local area. We had everything we needed and no request was too much, we could have paid twice as much; and then received less service. So overall our experience was like the breakfast - very good, thank you.
