Classic style hotel, looking a bit tired
It's a reasonable Hotel is quite a nice location it's just looking fairly run down. We had our Christmas Party here 6 years ago and it looks pretty much the same but just more tired and old. Staff were generally friendly and service was ok. Cleanliness in the hotel was ok. Sleep quality was fairly good, the room was a bit cold. Tap water came out nice and hot but the shower could only do freezing cold or cold (Room 201).

Not much sleep
Could not fault it accept I could hear the man above me going to the toilet in the middle of the night and getting back in bed. The bed squeaking. Then getting woke up every morning at 6.15 when he got up could hear him using the toilet shower and opening and closing draws. My bed was very squeaky also every time I moved

The hotel was a very good price. The room was clean and big enough for two people, had tea and coffee with a kettle so could make a hot drink. Excellent shower. Breakfast was a bit small and expensive at £14 per person but the staff were friendly and very professional and quick to serve. Free parking outside the hotel was good and there was plenty of space. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so you do need a car. But that adds to the quiet, peaceful, and relaxing atmosphere of the place

My stay at the Hickshead hotel has been excellent in many respects, especially the helpfulness of the staff and their proactive attitudes. Unfortunately if you have a room facing the carpark not only do you get woken up at silly o'clock by patrons chatting in the carpark but also by the smell of cigarette smoke coming in through the window. Yes I did have to get up and close the window. The Hotel is very convenient, the food is good and as I say the Staff make this place somewhere I will return.

Room was nice staff were friendly , but there was a horriable smell that made you feel sick smelt like sewage or something in the lobby and corridors which was off putting . The breakfast was over priced and the bacon was rock hard and looked like it had been warmed up in the microwave and eggs were over cooked . So disappointing . Staff were lovely though and location was good

The room was ok and staff were helpful. We struggled to get a good night’s sleep, however, because we could hear everything in the room next to us…this included: every word they said, someone snoring and even the dog whimpering in it’s sleep because it was dreaming.
