Room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Could do with redecorating. The bathroom definitely needed renovation, but expected for the price paid.

Plenty of parking, building and reception looked clean and well maintained. However - price charged not price quoted & booked online and once into original part of hotel things didn't look so good. Paintwork throughout needs completely renewing. Being an old building we accept that layout can be 'quirky' but not only did floors creak, everything else did! - bed, chair doors, headboard (not even attached to bedframe). Bathroom was miniscule, though usable, but concerned if had this room in middle of winter how cold it would be as no visible signs of heating? Room and bathroom overall clean but tired and very basic for £101. Breakfast was good (included in price) and available from 7am which suited us as we had a long journey. If you cosider £101 reasonable we had spent the previous night elsewhere at a guest house and paid £85 for far superiour everything! We use Best Western quite a bit around the country and feel that standards have slipped since lockdown and have not improved. Meal in bar was lovely and all items reasonably priced.

Faded
Average hotel with no frills - requested an iron but porter ‘had never been asked for one before’ and couldn’t find one - not the level of service expected from a Best western hotel. Room was clean but uncomfortable bed and pillows and poor flow to shower
Will avoid in future which is a shame as in a very convenient location

We were disappointed that our request for a room on a lower floor (no lift and we are in our 70s) appears to have been ignored

Awful nights sleep.
Very dated stuffy rooms. Fan provided but no plugs by the bed so had it to sit on a ledge in corner of the room. Beds soft and old, pillows hard. Poor nights sleep.
The bathroom was poor with old shower curtain and stained toilet bowl.
Breakfast was hot and fresh but coffee was awful.
Bar was closed before 10 and only serve food till 8:30.

Friendly staff, basic room.
Good basic room, nice beds.
Heavy to open room door, large chip in bath enamel, no usb sockets, no air conditioning.
Friendly staff.
The whole block needs a make over, take out bath and fit large low rise shower tray (bath not good for access). Dark brown wood is oppressive.
Air conditioning a must these days.

Staff went over and above to accommodate when I asked for things like a wall plugin converter, an iron.
Only complaint was having to pay for the continental breakfast. There wasn’t much there so I don’t even feel like it should have cost the 10p.
