Marden Hotels

"I would not stay again, our double bedroom had very tired decor, peeling paint, lots of dust and cobwebs, and overlooked a flat roof/ fire escape. Seems like the room had been slapped with lots of green paint in attempts to modernise it. Not sure how the accommodation can be described as luxury. If we had been staying for more then one night I would have left early. The parking is very limited, but that is stated when booking. Staff at reception were friendly when booking in."

"It was a fine stay. We paid more for a better room which seemed worth it."

"Lovely 17th century building. Staff were very friendly and helpful, food was amazing, room was clean and comfortable. Bed was one of the most comfortable I've been in for ages (apart from my own!). Definitely will return!"

"Friendly and helpful staff. Room was very pleasant and spacious. For me the curly stairs to top floor was an issue because of mobility problem. But i slept well , good choice of breakfast."

"If you're looking for a small-town English hotel experience, the GMH delivers. It captures "old world" charm, though it comes with unique quirks to be prepared for. We stayed in the massive “Hideaway” suite with 3 bedrooms and a living room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable, but it does show its age in "charming" ways. For example, there was a bit of sagging plaster on the ceiling and a hole behind a bookcase. The bathroom was large with modern fixtures and a great shower. The breakfast was a highlight. It’s served in a lovely room and included, allowing you to order a fresh breakfast off a menu. Jeremy, the manager, is very much a "character." He is very knowledgeable about the area and provided excellent local suggestions. He is clearly proud of his country and community. However, be prepared for a very dry, sometimes sharp English wit. As Americans, we had a few interactions that felt a bit "salty", including some unsolicited lessons on "proper" cutlery etiquette and comments about Americans in general. While some might find his sarcasm a bit jarring, we took it as part of the eccentric local experience. If you go in with a sense of humor and don't take the "instruction" personal, he adds a certain color to the stay that you won't find at a corporate chain. The on-site parking is a plus, and the location is excellent. If you enjoy a hotel with a strong personality, you’ll love it here. Just be ready for a bit of "education" on your table manners!"

"Bright and light room refurbed recently and clean. Good food in the pub at a reasonable price. Friendly staff and a great breakfast well cooked."

"Amazing spa and facilities "

"Spacious accomodation with history and great feel. During the week you order breakfast from the Kitchen. On busy days (sunday) the breakfast is all laid out for a self help arrangement. Great Basement with games area. Pool, Snooker, Board games. Great area to walk to and enjoy a drink with friends. "
