Second time here. Room was ok, very comfortable bed, but check-in process was annoying. Even though both times I arrived after 6pm, both times I was sent to get my keys at Holiday Inn. It’s ok if weather is no problem, but not so much when it’s raining. Ah yes, and £7.50 parking charge. Really?! I’d rather pay more for the room than parking charge, but that’s just me. Will I stay here again? Of course.

Generally a good option for a few nights for a work trip. The room was functional, but the shower and curtain needs some maintenance. The noise from the pub below and train station nearby was only in the early evening. However, the place was clean, well connected to nearby roads/rail, and had a pub/restaurant on site.
Nice clean room. Very comfy bed. Tea & coffee making facilities. Few minor issues - no chair to sit at the desk, and LED mirror in the bathroom didn’t lit up.
Cannot comment on staff, as the only person we spoke was barman who sent us to check-in to Holiday Inn.
Customer service at pub terrible-told that there was notice on door to go to adjacent hotel to get key no offer to look after cases.food disgusting very expensive for frozen food! Bed terrible small /no bedside lamps/mirror to far away to dry hair in /although shower was good too powerful for tiny cubicle and risk of flooding-one window no catch on -dangerous ,ceiling lampshade falling apart and dirty cups.we booked 2 nights for a special occasion but refused to spend anymore time than necessary and booked a wonderful place ( cheaper) and more luxurious with fabulous food
The red lion classed our room as regency -in there dreams basically don’t waste your money !!!!
