Very friendly and helpful staff. A particularly big shout out to Aphrodite and her wecoming smile! A great central location with its own parking. The bar menu was a bit limited. It's an old building so if you have accessibility needs, you need to talk to them before booking. There's no lift. I would be happy to stay there again.

My room had a slight issue with the curtains but the very helpful staff moved me to a bigger nicer room which was spotless.
The Bed was super comfy and everything worked well.
Town centre is just a few minutes walk away with plenty of dining options. Plenty of free on site parking available and breakfast in the morning was superb.

We had a great experience at the Plough! We were there for a function and the staff could not have been friendlier! Room was clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent and a great value at £10. Eady walking distance to centre of town. I would definitely stay again!

A pleasant stay.
The room was comfortable and clean. The stay was very pleasant. Bits of the decor could do with updating, but all perfectly serviceable.

Hotel night stay
Had a great stay at the hotel. It was clean and a nice place to relax. Staff are friendly. Loved having dressing gown and slippers in the room. The hotel was mid way between the places we needed to visit so was great. Would definitely go there again.

It was ok, but unfortunately our room had a smell to it as soon as you opened the door also the corridor smelt of weed both at night and in the morning. The staff were very friendly.
