Had a long week-end at this hotel with friends. Never stayed in a 2 star hotel before and from the outside was not that impressed. The reception staff was very friendly and helpful, our friends stayed in room 4 which was very spacious with doors opening out onto the garden with patio table and chairs. We had room 16 which...

Just got back from a two night stay at The Woodlands hotel. The front of the hotel isn't much to be desired, and the inside was quite dated, but was what you'd expect for a 2* hotel of such age. Room was nice and big, however it did have a slight off smell, however that was in fitting with the... More

We visited the hotel to celebrate our friends 80th birthday and unfortunately the weather took a turn for the worse and the hotel heating only came on for an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. The result being we were cold. The breakfast was below par as the bacon was very dry and the choose for... More

My Husband and I spent 2 nights at The Woodlands at the end of April. We had a lovely time, good warm welcome from the staff and a great room full of character and a four poster bed!! The breakfast was exactly what we needed and best of all NO dishes to wash. 5 minute walk to town centre and... More

We arrived at the Woodlands, the outside does not do it justice, If I was passing I probably would not have stopped. Inside we received a warm welcome, our room was on the ground floor (Room 8), good size, immaculately clean, soft linen, everything that I wanted, tea with tea pot, TV and hair-dryer. Unfortunately some one before us had... More

We were worried after reading some of the reviews. Luckily they turned out to be rubbish. The room was really nice, room 8 as we took our dog. The room was spotless and had extras more expensive hotels didn't have. The food was very good, we went on a groupon so had dinner the first night. Best onion soup I... More

we stayed here on a KGB voucher. It is a very quirky building with bedrooms on the ground floor and also in an annexe which is approached by internal stairs but goes up and down a bit. If disabled or have difficulty in walking then ask for a ground floor room. It is on a main road by a roundabout... More

Went here on a Groupon special offer. What a delightful place, the bedroom was fantastic, clean, bright, large, great en-suite with bath and shower over. Meals were taken ina georgeous Georgian dining room, breakfast with real Georgian tea service was a delight. Food coked beautifully - not huge portions, but definitely sufficient. The lounge was lovely and comfortable and the... More
