Comfortable, tidy and good value
The staff were great. Really made my stay better. Last minute booking to avoid camping in the torrential weather and the girls working were very helpful with everything. Had an awesome night sleep.
Reasonably priced for the comfort provided and breakfast was great! Would stay again.

Cheap stay hence beds that crunch and need better
Parking a no go if you're over 2.1m high. If not you have to drive over the road into a tight car park. Options not great. Stain on carpet upstairs looks like there's been a murder or a birth. Locations ok 10 mins walk to centre, hotels limited for food and drink so go elsewhere

Did the job...but only just.
Hotel is in a convenient location for access to the town centre but has limited (3 spaces) for parking.
Decor and facilities are a bit dated and in need of update. Food was good but breakfast was a slow experience as waitres was working alone and struggling to keep up.

Nice hotel
Very friendly check in despite being told over the phone we could check in from lunchtime we were told we were too early, but receptionist did offer to store our bags whilst we went out.
Room was spacious and light. Towel rail blasting out heat, so the room was stuffy, but we did find the switch to turn it off. Room on front of hotel so lots of road noise which kept us awake most of the night.

This hotel scammed us. Despite booking and paying for a double room, they pretended Expedia had only booked a single…and said they had no rooms left. They told another couple arriving later the same evening the same lie. They had clearly rebooked our rooms as soon as they could charge a higher - peak season - rate.
Appalling - no one should stay here!

Lovely quiet night in a very clean room.
The County Hotel Receptionist was very,very helpful, checking that I knew where to find the free car parking across the road from the hotel.
I thought the room might be rather noisy, with an extract fan outside the window. The Receptionist was able to reassure me that this was the kitchen extractor which would be turned off by 21.00. It was, and I had a lovely quiet night in a very clean room.

The rooms were clean enough. On the small side. The bed was comfortable. Pillows could have been better.
People should be made aware this hotel is partnered with a tour bus company. So anyone booked with the tour gets priority over other guests. Which if you don’t know this before booking, I don’t think it’s fair.
When we arrived there was already two tour buses of people there. They had access to the restaurant and bar area. There was entertainment which you could hear right throughout the hotel. So if you wanted an early night, forget about it.
We were only given a half hour time slot for breakfast. 9-9:30. So if you wanted to have an early start, it wasn’t happening.
The breakfast staff were abrasive. They got my order wrong and mine didn’t arrive until nearly everyone else at my tables was done. We all said the food was not very hot. The choice of food wasn’t the best unless you like very basic food. My fathers bread was dripping with grease. Probably would have had a better breakfast from Greggs.
The doors in the hotel need the catches fixed, as all you hear first thing in the morning and at night is slamming doors.
I don’t recommend this place nor would we stay here again.

The shower was lukewarm only. The staff were friendly and very accommodating and welcoming when we arrived late due to travel problems. The room was clean and comfortable apart from the shower temperature. It is a short pleasant walk to shops and cafes.
