Ashford International Hotel & Spa
Excellent: the only objection is the the room was freezing cold when we arrived, evidently the heating was switched off and it ook hourse to warm up. I understand eco friendly but this is going too far.

The Falstaff Hotel
Lovely hotel and a great room. A bit different compared to hotel chains. All staff friendly and helpful. Parking in hotel grounds a bonus for the area. Breakfast very good. Only criticism is I’d have preferred a wider breakfast menu.
