Having booked a couple of nights as a treat based on the images on the website, we were incredibly disappointed to be checked into a basement room that couldn't be more different to the online promotion. The owners changed our room and the second room (No 5) was lovely. My advice to anyone staying here is to check that you... more

Travelling by train, I was pleased that this hotel was so close to the station. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, and the single room was comfortable with everything you could want. Breakfast was excellent, and set me up for a day of cycling / hiking. My only criticism of the hotel is the paper-thin walls which meant... more

On arrival we checked in and first impressions were good, we thought it was clean and the decor downstairs was pleasant. Our room was abit dissapointing as it was quite dull and dismall although the view from our window compensated for the tiredness of the decor. The bathroom again dissapointed us as it was spoiled by a tiny cheap shower... more

We've just returned from another great stay at the Applegarth. The team were as friendly and helpful as ever, the room was superb (number 11), and the food was still outstanding. Hope to return within the year! more

Nice hotel, but my wife was given a sofa bed in a windowless room and charged £63 for b&b per night. When she raised her eyebrows at the sofabed she was told that 'a lot of money has been spent on it'. She didn't sleep well - could feel the springs - and when she said it had been uncomfortable... more
