"Good stay here again - breakfast was hotter this time which was appreciated. Room comfortable and shower was good. I don't appreciate being charged £8 for parking which was previously free, but overall it's still an OK hotel for a business one-nighter."

"Great place to stay for business or pleasure. I would highly recommend! "

"The hotel was very clean and modern. The room we were given was huge and had a lovely bathroom and even a coffee machine! "

"This was a very fun and historic hotel. It had a lovely bar and restaurant. It is close to mass transit and we were able to walk to the train station. Go visit the castle, there is a lot of history in there. The staff was wonderful and friendly. The rooms were great. We were able to walk to food and drinks. "

"Good size room. Great staff. Helpful polite. Good facilities though a charge for tennis and pickle ball courts. Great place to come to relax and enjoy some fitness, a round of golf or hit a few balls on the driving range. "

"Beautiful 5 star bathroom "

"We had a very nice overnight stay. The hotel decor was welcoming, warm and bright, and all staff were friendly and professional. The beds were fresh, clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The shower was powerful and hot and there were toiletries provided if needed. We brought our own hairdryer and there didn't appear to be one provided in the room. The heating was efficient and easily adjusted. There was a large selection at the continental breakfast buffet, and the cooked breakfast was hot and fresh, with good quality bacon and sausages. Our only slight criticism was that the breakfast tables were painted wood with no covering and did not appear as clean as they could be. Tea/coffee stains on the table tops and dust in the grooves around the edges detracted from the otherwise lovely, bright breakfast room. The paper menus were also food/drink stained and could easily be replaced. Overall we thought The Dragonfly was a great, reasonably priced hotel for our overnight stay and we would stay there again.

"A very welcomed arrival, receptionist was lovely and pleasant. Couldn’t have asked for more, the rooms were perfect, we were given a free upgrade to a newly refurbished room which was a lovely unexpected extra and very welcomed. The spa was great, and the food in the restaurant was well above average, all expectations were truly exceeded. Would definitely recommend! "

"Hot water fluctuated. Central location handy for walking about town. Staff helpful, especially at breakfast which was filling. "
