Suffice to say there is nothing wrong with this hotel except the age of the building and it's decor. Staff were generally very welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was excellent.

Didn't pre-book our one-night stay, but Whately Hall provided an easily accessed and cosy double at a reasonable price when we called. Room service prompt and food tasty. Good breakfast (but just how does a hotel run out of brown bread ?). No charge for our dog.

Great staff, very noisy location

Martin M. Families - 10/01/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Experienced very friendly staff both in reception and in the Bar. I stayed in room 57 and sleep was impossible due to traffic noise from 10.30 till 0400 when it died down slightly. This was mixed with the early morning 'turf outs' from local bars! left the hotel at 0530 as little point in trying to sleep regards

Very good value for money

Booked at the last minute to have a short break for New Year. We have stayed at this hotel a few time now and never had a problem this time was no exception, we booked a privileged room which was like a small suite. The staff were very friendly as always. My only issue was the bar closed at about 10:30 on New Years eve when we would have liked to stay for another drink or two. We were told we could order to our room but we didn't really fancy this. It did not spoil our enjouable stay.

I was unhappy with my room as it was very unclean and there seemed be be a extremely large gathering of dust under and behind the bed. It made me very uncomfortable. Also the bathroom facilities were very untidy and dirty.

anne2020646 Couples - 01/01/2020 TripAdvisor review

Executive room was very spacious and comfortable. Bed very comfortable. We appreciated the street view. Stunning garden at the back with a fantastic view while having breakfast. Breakfast very good quality although frustratingly had to wait 8 minutes for the fried eggs to be brought out. Although there was a wedding going on, the Reception service was good, but not in the bar in the evening. We gave up waiting to be served and went elsewhere for a drink. The restaurant was not open throughout the day due to the wedding. The location was excellent extremely close to the shops, pubs and restaurants.
