The Highlights: ​The Room: My room was lovely—spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax. ​The Food: Simply exceptional!

A brilliant dog friendly stay in comfortable surroundings. Plenty of alternative eateries nearby.

Pros: The hotel was big and airy with no restrictions on dogs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Good central location. My wife found some very nice boots at a local charity shop!

Cons: Parking could be an issue but once you get used to when and where to park it's not so bad. The traffic wardens are, in fact, very helpful.

Went to bed hungry

Pros: Comfortable and clean, convenient for our stop. Very nice breakfast

Cons: Kitchen closed early ( on a Saturday night!) despite showing on the hotels website that it was open until 2200 we were told the kitchen was already shut when we arrived at 2045. Then directed to local shops. Very disappointing and most unsatisfactory

Excellent value and great location

Pros: My wife has great trouble climbing stairs and staff were brilliant at arranging a courtyard room for us on the ground floor. We received a warm welcome on arrival and nothing was too much trouble.

Pros: I stayed at the Wellington Hotel for just one night, but it left a great impression. The room was comfortable, quiet, and had everything I needed for a short stay. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional cleanliness of the rooms. It’s clear the housekeeping team is outstanding. The room was spotless — fresh, tidy, and cared for with real attention to detail. You can tell they take pride in their work, and that level of consistency makes a huge difference, even on a brief visit. Their standards genuinely elevated the whole experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel felt well‑run from the moment I arrived. I’d happily stay again and would recommend the Wellington Hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and reliable place to stay.
