Kilford Arms Hotel

Kilford Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel with free parking. The room had been fully renovated. A minor point, but we found the need to access the property after hours through the pub to be strange and had difficulty locating the buzzer after the pub was closed. It felt the night porter could more easily provide access via the lobby (with a buzzer by the main entrance)."
