The Jubilee Hotel & Conferences
Room was clean and a good size for 1 person. Good choice for breakfast and liked that there was a separate toaster for Gluten Free if needed. Didn't use any of the other facilities as only there overnight

The Orchard Hotel & Restaurant
Hotel was lovely and the beds were comfortable. Really pleasant staff and would recommend the hotel. However wasn’t a fan of 5 WhatsApp messages plus Expedia messages from them think it was a bit too much. Apart from that everything else was great

Burleigh Court Hotel
Room was fine, housekeeping didn’t always refresh the teabags which was frustrating and the room service food was overdone and lukewarm by the time it was delivered, which was disappointing. Staff were mainly friendly and helpful although bar staff were abrupt and on one occasion rude.
