3 night stay
This was our second stay at the King Charles and again it exceeded expectations, from the comfortable room to the excellent breakfast, friendly staff and ambience.
The bar food was particularly tasty and reasonably priced, so we are looking forward to visiting again very soon!

Nice warm little hotel !
Our stay can only be described as OK !
Staff polite, food acceptable, cleanliness not bad. Beds very comfy, decor a little dated, and certain parts of the bathroom in the room we had need a lot of attention.
Otherwise, stay was acceptable for the price ?

Comfortable, warm hotel centrally located.
We have stayed here many times and will continue to be regular visitors to this hotel as it's well located with ample parking. In addition it is a very comfortable, and warm hotel. The staff are always friendly and the hotel itself represents great value.

Overall, pretty good!
I arrived as it was getting dark and the exterior of the hotel did not inspire! Very tatty cat park to drive through with no lighting before reaching the main entrance. Inside the reception is a little tired but the staff are really friendly and helpful.
My room was very spacious and comfortable airgun the tv was very small given the Suze of the room. Bathroom was clean with a big shower cubicle.
Didn't use the bar, but the restaurant was very quiet for dinner. Fairly extensive menu - food was good. Breakfast was limited but ok.
If I return to the area, I will stay again as the venue as a whole represents excellent VFM.
