Heart of England 3 Stars Hotels

"Rooms are newly refurbished, and look good. Plenty of sockets and have aircon which works really well. But there are some glaring errors. No storage!!! Just a tiny rail with 4 hangars, and when I asked for more i was told they werent allowed to give me any. There is just one drawer in the desk - no shelves and no other storage. This was a double room, for 3 nights and basically, just 2 hangars each! No hooks for wet jackets etc. So I had coats on the back of the desk chair, and piled on top of my suitcase. Crazy. The shower is one of those awful over the head ones, so you cant avoid getting your hair wet. As a woman with longer hair, that is a total pain. And no hairdryers in the room!!! I dont want to appear sexist, but I'd put money on the fact these rooms were designed by a man - look good initially but dont work on a practical level. Lovely mirror to match the wood behind the tiny hanging area, same shape, obviously been thought about, but then so little storage. Large TV - great, but would rather have the more practical things like storage, hairdryer and shower that you can use without wettimg your hair!!!"

"This is an historical building, very well built and maintained. Staff could be friendlier, more enthusiasm. I will stay here again. Clean, great area. Shops and food close by, and can walk to the Castle from here. Nice to have local parking."

"Lovely and clean, comfy beds, dogs were welcome and breakfast was lovely "

"Breakfast was good, staff friendly & professional. Good leisure facilities. Bar peices very reasonable. Superior Room tired, needs some TLC. No pillow protectors !! "

"Due to the refurbishment works the bar/dining area was not great & limited menu choices for dinner. Could do with signs showing which doors to use to enter the hotel. Staff were helpful & room comfortable. "
