Overall Ratings & Reviews Best Western Priory Hotel

A clean and quiet room, close to town. Friendly staff too.

It was nice staff really friendly

Made to feel very welcome and spoiled on arrival . Had great breakfast and rooms very spacious . Very reasonably priced . Would definatley stay again

3 night stay for local business, conveniently positioned hence the choice, Obviously a historical building can't be designed like a purpose built characterless chain, but depending on the nature of your visit this may either be welcomed, or a frustration. Staff were very friendly and helpful, just a shame they don't have a building that matches the standards they achieve. Room was small, full of patina....and cavernous bathroom had a shower that produced water at random temperatures, irrespective of its settings, stair carpet extremely dirty. Only the excellent staff would make me consider this as a suitable choice for a business stopover in the future.

Will stay again.

I stayed in a dog-friendly room and it was spotless. A relaxed stay with pleasant staff around. I only had one problem that was resolved without fuss - I wanted a light meal and asked for chicken breast with house salad. The Chef could do this but not the computer; when it came it was delicious. Grounds suffering from drought and and dead bushes reduced what could have been a most attractive seating area, but the main lawns were easily reached.

Black mold in shower room, shower head blocked up with lime scale, shower water cold at night and around 80°C in the morning and no adjustment, carpet stained and dirty, mattresses worn out, bathroom towl rail stuck on and over heating the room, water leak in centre of the bedroom ceiling, condensation running down wall and damp to the touch on all other walls. Bedroom furnishings old and outdated, nothing PAT tested. Horrible stay, staff uninterested and unhelpful

Although the chalet was a little dated it was clean, had a good shower and comfortable bed. The TV signal did come and go which wasn’t great. The breakfast was good and overall our stay was good. The staff we dealt with were friendly and helpful. The sweetie jar was a nice touch

Late check in by porter was good , room was comfortable but little dated especially the bathroom Breakfast buffet , good choices but did not replenish beans whilst we were there ( 8.50 to 9.20 am ) and sausages would of been better slightly browned off a bit Breakfast room wasn’t the cleanest either, floor etc

Friendly staff, nice food and nice accommodation

Very helpful staff, particularly many at breakfast. Disabled and he was very helpful.

It was ok easy check in and out. Room was relatively dusty with cob Weber on lamp. Bathroom looked like it needed a deeper clean as had mould around seals and on ceiling. Also I had a disabled room which wasn’t need and thankfully not as the hand rail on the door poked as though it wouldn’t last much longer as there was a gap between the screws and door. Also had weird blood like stains in bathroom. Also the tv was very dated and wasn’t smart and the normal tv channels didn’t work as kept stuttering and cutting out. Thankfully had something I could plug in to watch tv. Though defiantly didn’t seem like a hd screen

Room ok if a little dated TV in room did not work, when reported to a member of staff they seemed nonchalant and didn’t care. Said it would be looked at tomorrow (after I left) I was charged for the stay again on checking in which I had to chase hotels.com & try to find a staff member in the morning that could eventually do a refund. Most unfriendly and unhelpful business that I have had the misfortune to stay at

Lovely place

All good. Would recommend

The room was small, bed was uncomfortable, bathroom huge but tired looking at a bit dirty. Room was right next to the road, so very noisy. Hard to get around the bed, bashed my legs several times. But have stayed in other rooms before that were better!

No hot water. That’s all I’ll remember about the place.

Stylish comfortable welcoming and relaxing

I have stayed before, previously in the main house. This time i was in one of the lodges, detached from the main building. My problem wasn't with the hotel or staff, however the walls between rooms are very thin, my neighbour decided to have a 2 hour telephone converstaion that i could have joined in with! At 6.30am her alarm started to go off, unfortunately she had already left the room so it continued to sound without anyone there to turn it off.

A good stay. Only downside was gap in the bedroom window which you could put your hand through leading to excess traffic noise which was disappointing.
