Very pleasant and helpful staff. The room we were booked into in the Stables was very dark so we asked to change rooms. I was allowed to view the next room which looked like a palace compared to the Stable room but on closer inspection realised it was very dated and needs a major update

It was a bit shabby but very comfortable. A hole in the bathroom plaster and wallpaper should have been rectified.I thought breakfast could have been included in the price but the bar prices were very good. An enjoyable stay.

Overnight Stay Wednesday 5th June 2024
I found my stay at The Elms to be very pleasant and convenient. I stayed in The Stables just around the corner from the main hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean. There were plenty of teas and coffees. The shower was decent. I enjoyed a good night's sleep. I also had dinner at the Indian Restaurant within the hotel. If I am in the area again, I will have no hesitation in staying there again

Very clean. Helpful and friendly staff. Big breakfast. Decor has obviously been updated but still needs work in the stable rooms. Floorboards very creaky, which must be noisy for the downstairs guests.

Great staff
It was ok, don't know what wrong with the noise levels, anyone goes to the bathroom the floors squeak not only in your room but the room below too, apart from that room adequate if a bit on smaller side has everything you need, well if you ask hairdryer supplied as well as teaspoons but Indian restaurant fab would

Verified traveler

Room was a good size, and bed comfortable. Bathroom new and very clean, though couple of issues with the toilet which I have informed hotel about. Only one pillow each and one set of towels on arrival. It states in welcome pack to ask if more required, which we did shortly after checking in, didn’t arrive and had to ask again later in evening. Breakfast was plentiful and well priced though meat could have been hotter and toast was cold. Breakfast and bar area was very clean. Wasn’t fond of the hanging extension lead from tv, which kettle was also plugged in to. Very odd configuration. So to summarise… some things need bit more thought/attention but overall ok for a couple of nights.
