Pinegrove Hotel

Breakfast was a good 'full english' with everything fresh and eggs not overdone. Decaff coffee available and a gift of sausages for our dog was appreciated. He was also made welcome by all staff. We weren't hurried out even though we sat there until after 10.00. It was convenient to have the restaurant next door for our evening meal as it was rather out of town. We were also told that a Take Away could have been served from there in the hotel, though this wasn't offered until after we'd eaten. The receptionist was very obliging and we'd been given a ground floor room as requested. He also set up the internet for us. As it was quite a long walk for my disabled husband we were offered a wheelchair, which he declined, but he was pleased to use the seat half way along the corridor. Our dog was also made welcome by all staff. The shower worked well, the wardrobe had plenty of hangers.and the beds were comfortable. Convenient sockets for hair drier etc. The garden was very convenient as was the bar! The parking place right outside the front door was also convenient.

Our second visit, so we knew this hotel, that is such a lovely building, is a "work in progress" . We were pleased to see actual improvements being carried out and that now the weather has dried up a bit that outside has had more tidying up. We had a different room this visit and it overlooked a pleasant garden with seating! Once again we found the hotel both well aired and warm. Opening windows, and warm radiators are a big plus! Once again it was clean. Again lovely towels and good bed linen, plus a well furnished room with big TV that has Good reception. Good WiFi, too. The staff are welcoming and cheerful, kind and thoughtful as well because my gluten free requirements were remembered. The breakfast is very nice! We liked that there are lovely dog, and indeed child if you have children, places to get to within a few minutes walk. Our dog has self contained car accommodation but some guests had nicely behaved pets with them and they were clearly welcome! The hotel stands back from the road and is very quiet.

This was my second stay at this hotel. I was in a different room but the bed was just as soft and comfortable as my previous stay. The tea and coffee facilities are well stocked. Breakfast was included in the price and the full English is of a good standard with plenty of toast. There is a lovely stained glass window well worth a moment of appreciation. It's only a short drive to the city centre. Ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area. Good parking facilities.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was tasty. The main building is beautiful with gorgeous stained glass windows

The staff were polite and very friendly as were the locals I met. The morning chef was more than happy to make alterations to our breakfast The building itself was very old and dated however as someone who loves old buildings it was a treat
