Called here for a 3 night break in the area. This isn't the most modern of Holiday Inn Express, but I'd served its purpose well for us. We had a rather dark room at the rear of the hotel, not much natural light due to the trees opposite. The rooms are well enough appointed, but in need of a little TLC, the door security catch had certainly seen some abuse! The hotel is dog friendly as well Comfortable bed, ample tea, and coffee making facilities, good toiletries. The free buffet breakfast was well cooked, although limited choice. Very friendly and welcoming staff and a real credit to the IHG brand. The car park is at the rear of the hotel and can be a bit awkward as it is one-way and rather tight to exit.... some people decide to exit via the entry.... not helpful as the hotel shares an access road with McDonald's!
It's quite handy from the railway station, only a few minutes walk. Food is ok, but not outstanding. I will definitely be back. Alcoholic drink prices are very high. A lot cheaper in the local pubs or the nearby Tesco Express!
