All staff were so kind and helpful. Cannot fault the hotel at all was clean, bed and pillows so comfortable, will definitely go back when it is for a happier occasion. Will always be grateful to Taylor for the stay we had.

Very noisy. Asked for a different room as we could hear the conversation word for word.next door and a baby screaming and crying. Breakfast buffet was out of food and drink in many areas. No sausages, no bacon, no butter and no orange juice.

Rooms- in particular the bathroom- needs to be updated with modern design and functionality for the price. The lobby has been refreshed but rooms don’t match the lobby update. The buffet breakfast was average, the staff seemed run off their feet and struggled to maintain stock. Staff were all friendly and provided great service.
