The place was understaffed. Toilets were ok but some had no toilet roll and weren't overly clean. Overall not a great place to visit although the... More

The hotel is well located for being in the heart of action. Definitely not the hotel for a quiet stay. Our room was on the second floor and we didn't get to sleep until the music in the bar stopped. No sound proof at all. We got a back room and we had the fan of the kitchen running late... More

The POW was the prefect base for our pike angling group with the town entertainment on the doorstep. Everyone admired their welcoming attitude and willingness to look after (us) their guests. We stayed four nights in the hotel and bedrooms were immaculate and at really value-for-money. Well done and see you again next April.

This hotel is right in the town centre with free parking. The room was very nice and spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed and amazing shower. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

I used the hotel for a recent company conference, the facilities were ideal, staff were very helpful with the audio visual setup - lunch in the bar was excellent & it was great value for the venue, food & drinks. Will definitely use again
