Poor value overall for the price

Great location, room was nice and modern but very small. Water supply was appalling so if u like a good shower don’t stay here. Wifi was very unreliable & & house keeping very minimal
John, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Small but nice and comfortable room and very comfortable bed. Friendly staff, lovely grounds. If booking again would try and request a room that didn’t back on to the hotel/pub behind with live music.

Chrystele, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay at the hotel. The Bigelow room was clean, calm, and quiet. Perfect for a relaxing trip. The location was very convenient, within walking distance to both the town center and the seaside. Everything felt comfortable and well-maintained. I highly recommend it!
Adam, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location but the room was a bit tight on space and the hot water fluctuating whilst you are under the shower didn’t help. Having said that we enjoyed our stay there and would probably stay there again

10/10 Exceptional

Great gardens. My door key would not open the Herbert St pedestrian gate, which meant I had to walk around the corner and come in the front. And there was no attempt by staff to rectify the situation. Very disappointing for a resort hotel of this quality.
Ross, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is like a little oasis in the city. It was a lovely stay. Everyone was friendly, the whole place has a peaceful feel to it. Lots of lovely gardens.
