The Shrubbery Hotel

Passable

Passable

A short but pleasant stay

Liked: Exactly as expected, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and reasonably priced. Nice that they provide some small bottles of shower gel, body lotion & soap and coffee/tea facilities in the room.
Disliked: Took a while to get the shower (over the bath) to the right temperature and pressure wasn't great but it served a purpose and wasn't a major issue.

Good

Liked: The breakfast was very good, good quality and cooked beautifully.The staff we met were lovely and helpful.
Disliked: The hotel is very run down and needs a lot of work in general. Especially taking out the carpet in the bathroom.But saying that the room was clean and tidy.

Quiet and relaxing

Liked: Good location for town centre, friendly staff and free car parking. Comfy bed and room was light and airy.Lunch was tasty, with large portions and it was hot and freshly made. Breakfast was included and that too was tasty and hot with a selection of cereals and juices to start. Quick service.
Disliked: Room could do with a towel rail and a luggage stand. Blinds need to be darker for sleepers who don’t like bright light in the summer early hours. Carpeted toilet area will make cleaning trickier.

Very friendly staff and comfortable...

Liked: Location excellent for what we wanted . Breakfast was not included. Breakfast menu varied and paid for what we wanted separately to room.
Disliked: Can't think of anything. Suited us down to the ground.

Exceptional

Superb

Liked: The hotel had a really relaxed, familiar and friendly atmosphere. It felt peaceful and calm and comforting. Views out of my window were lovely historic buildings in the village/town, the staff were friendly and there was a lovely shady beer garden. Good info provided in the room about local amenities and places to visit and a good menu. Would recommend for a gentle stay and explore of the area. Would go back again. It was the hottest day of the year when there but the room stayed relatively cool with stone walls, a good blind and sash window.
Disliked: No hair dryer in the room is the only thing but it was far too hot to want one when I was there anyway!
