Westhide Hotels

"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!"

"Limited parking, spaces not really suitable for vans"

"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."

"Did not opt for breakfast "

"We had a room on the front of the hotel this time. We found it very noisy on the Sunday night as a homeless person was having an argument with someone on a bike. It went on for ages and I did hear Police sirens but it continued later. "

"Amazing spa and facilities "

"All very nice "

"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. "
