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!

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.

When I checked in, I was automatically upgraded to a larger room. Staff were friendly and accommodating. My suitcase was carried up to my room by a staff member. I paid extra for the breakfast for convenience. Walkable to plenty of shopping and restaurants. It was a 15 minute walk from the train station.

Convenient for town centre and sightseeing but surounding streets were drab and run-down. Very small number of staff, who went above and beyond to make us welcome. No lift and quite a few stairs (could be tricky for some). Room was extremely small but included fridge - useful in the heat.
