Nice hotel, well positioned for the town center...good parking... Room was good apart from a broken lamp and lack of hand soap , sortedout very quickly. ...( could do with a couple of lamps in the room and a brighter bulb in the main light fitting) bed was very good and bathroom excellent. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice of items ... We would definitely stay there again.

I love the Whatley though my room was a long way from reception & involved climbing stairs. The lift was being used by noisy builders.

Nice clean room, the staff were courteous and prompt, property was undergoing a refurbishment whilst I was there however little disturbance noticed. Restaurant was not open when I was there, just the sports bar, ended up going to another location for food.

S Clarke, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The newly decorated rooms were lovely especially the en-suite. The heating was not good and the windows were original, which was nice but they were very draughty in the winter and needed some secondary glazing. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the hotel and would stay again.

Happy with our stay, the hotel is a work in progress for new owners we think, so needs work.
Karin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent value and sweet, friendly staff. Rooms fairly basic but comfy - it's a shame they don't reflect the history and aesthetics of the building more, but I imagine that would bump up the price considerably.
