10/10 Excellent
"This was a lovely hotel with great food, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and the staff were very helpful. The lack of air conditioning in the rooms was annoying. This might not always be an issue, but it was when we were there as the rooms were extremely hot. We asked for fans and these were then provided which did help. The other issue was the number of guests smoking right at the front door so that we had to walk through a cloud of smoke on the way in. It wasn’t the best first impression of the hotel, especially when travelling with small children who also had to go through this. We asked if there was a side door we could use but were told there was not. On the whole, we did enjoy our stay and we would recommend The Heritage."

"Lovely hotel but didn't quite feel like a 4 star. The little extras you'd expect just weren't there. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable but the was only a kettle for instant tea/ coffee! Breakfast was lovely. Staff on reception were very helpful but the lady in the bar restauraunt was rather rude. The swimming pool was great. Small jacuzzi and the sauna wasn't hot enough."
