the food was delicious and the bar and restaurant very welcoming and cosy and great decor

very friendly greeting and great bar with a great range of gins

we had a drink in the bar in the evening and the staff were very pleasant

the atmosphere in the bar and restaurant was lively and vibrant

the bar area again well presented and spotlessly clean

bar and restaurant were really nice

on the bar was amazingly helpful, very kind and easy to place an order with

where to book in as no one at reception had to wait quite a long time to find some one at the bar to issue us with cards to access the room

staff great location things to do in evening in the bar makes this a great place to stay , rooms are good and wifi and connectivity is

seemed a little understaffed in the bar and restaurant

catch wifi signal from my room but i guess that's because i was at the very edge of the bulding

sometimes i had trouble connecting and staying connected to the wifi

i was staying for overnight study and university location so wifi was a requirement and a good standard

i did try to log on to the wifi but gave up, not being too literate with these things

stay close for university so study in the evening) and always good

good value for money. nice bed, wifi fine, nice bar. tv worked. big room. free breakfast.

and it wasn't until i went into the restaurant for the first time i was able to connect to the wifi

arrived late and when i got to my room, i could not find access to the wifi code

free wifi

were clean and had tea/coffee facilities and wifi

noise from the road outside in the morning was a little intrusive, i found the wifi to be quite sluggish

wifi was advertised on booking information but it was virtually non existant in our room to access

we were to have a negative it would be that we were not able to connect to the free wifi in our room but this was not a major issue

and of course free wifi

didnt hear any noise from pub or road lovely room/shower only one thing wifi slow but wasnt a problem i would stay there

excellent breakfast

the hotel itself was lovely and breakfast was enjoyable eaten in a beautiful banquet style room

location staff really nice very clean, and breakfast was the best i have tasted for a hotel extremely recommended

we ended up in the hotel bar and had a cracking night

i think the wifi should have been free throught the hotel and felt the priory was behind the times in wanting

you have to pay for wifi

have to pay for wifi that should be a given, like water

that you charge for wifi, it is 2019 after all

criticism was the very worn seating in the bar area- this looked shabby and torn and didnt reflect the quality of the bedrooms

good to have the option of a late check
