I chose this hotel as it was a perfect location for a business meeting that I had to attend the following day. I was very impressed with every aspect of my stay. The girls on Reception were both friendly and very helpful. My room was clean and comfortable and I had an excellent night's sleep. I did not eat in the Restaurant so cannot comment on the food etc but will certainly give it a go next time I stay.

Stayed at the hotel a few weeks ago and the staff were so friendly and always happy to help. Location was good as it wasn’t too far from shops and restaurants. Food served at the hotel was good value for money. We had such a lovely stay and would definitely book again

Returned to premier inn last weekend, this was my second time at this hotel for a family bereavement. Tracey at reception was great, even left some biscuits in my room which was a kind and thoughtful gesture. Overall highly recommend as it was pleasant and a well-accommodating stay.

Stayed here for a race weekend, the staff were lovely and went out of their way to help. Room was nice and clean all though looking a bit tired and in need of a lick of paint. Food at the restaurant was ok but again needs a freshen up. Thank you Wendy, will definitely stay again.

We chose premier over an independent due to previous good experiences. ||We were however disappointed this time. The room was as expected however the water pressure was terrible and insufficient to draw water to the shower head. …

Absolute pish. There should be zero stars for dumps like this. Room was so hot I thought I was in a sauna. No aircon, staff not bothered. Probably because they got it multiple times of every shift they were there. …
