We enjoyed our stay at The County Hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had an economy double room in the annexe building. The room was clean and basic, ideal for a one night stay. The vegetarian full English breakfast was very good. Would definitely stay at this hotel again

I booked a small suite which was well laid out with great amenities. The only downside was there wasn’t any hot water in the shower in the morning. On the plus side- it had the longest bath of any hotel I’ve stayed in. Friendly staff and quiet location.

Well located for the train station. Friendly staff. Room was tired, no black out curtains on the main road with lots of blue light activity on the street through the evening. No bedside lamps in working order. But fine for one night’s stay on business.

The hotel is quite dated and could do with modernisation throughout. We paid extra for a larger room with a balcony, the view of the car park was faultless. The room was baking hot when we realised there was no air conditioning, although they did supply a fan and after a few adjustments we managed to stop the rattling noise from it. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was good location for the town centre.
