The Abbey Hotel, Library

Fantastic hotel, great location for the town, but also plenty of rural locations to explore and visit by foot or short drive. Plenty of history in the area and the hotel feels like it's full of charm and suits the area. Staff have always been freindly and helpful, food is of a decent quality and a fair price, cleanliness and quality of room couldn't be faulted. Will be returning again

It has been a delight to spend a few days at The Abbey. There is ample car parking within attractive well maintained grounds. (The car park is located behind the hotel but it is possible to drop off or pick up right outside.) The entrance is rather grand and Reception is welcoming and efficient. The public rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is extremely well staffed with charming professional personnel and nothing seems too much trouble. My room was perfect with wonderful views over The Priory, the gardens, distant hills and the sunrise. Nice hospitality tray, ample power points and plenty of hot water in the ensuite. Excellent breakfast, good lunch/snack menu and well prepared and presented dinners.

This is an unusual blend of bland corporate and beautiful country house style hotel. The main building is clearly older, think Abbey style, which has been well maintained. Reception staff are very pleasant and welcoming and able to answer any question you might have. There is plenty of lobby space to sit and read or chat while the bar will serve a wide range of drinks. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Well heated and clean. The car park is a good size and located very close by. Do register your car with Reception! The hotel has a lift to help with access. The restaurant is a good size so there is plenty of room for guests. Staff work hard to service all needs.
