    Our stay at the Abbey hotel exceeded our expectations. The hotel is full of charm. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was also good. We would certainly stay here again and definitely recommend it.

    The plug holes in the sink & bath as you couldn’t lift them up, they usually have a lever or something on the tap

    The breakfast, the twin beds & the heating was on which was nice

    The Abbey is a very traditional hotel and seems to attract an ‘older’ demographic - when we stayed there appeared to be a couple of large groups, and there was a wedding there on the Saturday. However, it remained quiet with no late night revellers.. All the public rooms and our room were very clean and tidy and appeared to have been refurbished. Our bedroom was a good size with a very comfortable firm bed and good pillows. Water pressure was quite low but that’s somewhat to be expected in a hotel of this age, and we were also aware that there had been problems with the water supply on the town during the weekend which may have contributed to this. Breakfast is buffet style - limited continental style meats and cheeses, but ample fruit, cereals and pastries etc. The hot buffet breakfast had a good range of choice and was very carefully monitored and replenished by staff whilst we were there - it was also possible to order poached eggs freshly cooked which I did and they came promptly. The staff were, without exception, friendly and professional and really seemed to want to do a good job. The location is great with lovely views and very convenient for the main shops cafes, the theatre and restaurants. We were able to park without difficulty in their large car park at the rear of the hotel.

    The hotel is located close to the town centre in easy reach of shops and restaurants. The room was spacious with a king size bed. There was a wide choice at breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The evening meals in the restaurant were excellent.

    The car parking is inadequate and needs more lighting and covered walkways.

    The room was reasonably well equipped and the very large double bed was excellent. Breakfast was good. Most of the staff were very pleasant and helpful.

    Everything was OK some furniture a little worn

    The venue was fabulous with a well worn beaten feel like a good pair of loved shoes . The view from the bedroom was incredible and everything felt very comfortable . The staff were top notch , well trained and on the button loading with each other in different departments to make things work in harmony .

    We were so disappointed that there were two over bright and insensitively set up security lights in the staff car park opposite which shone straight into our room (432) and were on all night. The curtains did quite a good job cutting out the glare but not completely. The atmosphere and old fashioned gentle lantern lighting around the Abbey is so nice but totally spoiled by these lights. If they could be angled downwards so the light head is almost horizontal they would light up the staff car park without spilling out and up into the rooms. Would have been good to have a free drink each rather than just one!

    very comfortable bed and we always like a bath in the room. free drink in return for not requiring housekeeping during our stay.

    Breakfast was poor in some ways. Stale pastries. Dry black pudding due to it sitting in the heated buffet way too long. Cooking less more frequently would solve this issue.

    Good location. Parking good . Room very good. Nice view

    Shower lacked water pressure and was far too short (I’m over six foot). I had to bend down to use it.

    Easy checking in. The room was a decent size with a large bed. Fully soundproofed as well.

    Breakfast eggs. Fried are overcooked, as were poached on request; scrambled were about as bad as you can get. There really should be someone cooking them and omelettes on demand out front. The whole thing is just too 100% self-serve. Other than that, great.

    Lovely room and helpful staff catering for my impaired mobility. Good bar, restaurant better than expected for dinner, a little less good for breakfast (leathery eggs), but altogether a positive experience of a fine old-style hotel.
