SAMANTHA, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

well, on arrival, there was no hot water or heating in my room. The lady on reception was awesome and got a boiler engineer out as one part of the hotel was affected (which they didnt know about) - three hours later, the heating and hot water was back on, so was able to have a bath that night. The following morning, again there was no heatong or hot water., Reported to reception on leaving, who didnt seem interested. The toilet in my room had an intermittent fault whereby after flushing, the overflow would continually run for about an hour, then stop on it own, only to restart for no reason. This was really annoying as it woke me up multiple times and I had very little sleep. Eventually, I had to close the bathroom door and wear earplugs. Would not return.
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Drastically overpriced for what it was. Very old, toilet broke and had to change rooms without anything complimentary as an apology.

The BW Nostalgia collection

The Priory is a beautiful hotel from BW’s 1980’s nostalgia collection, and this one didn’t disappoint. Complete with original furniture, moody lighting, 8:30pm restaurant/room service close, creaky floors and single glaze drafty windows. You can tell they’ve worked hard to replicate the late 80’s look. They even provide a complimentary jar of parma violets and swizzels drumsticks! My only complaint is that I couldn’t get Ceefax on the tv (couldn’t get much else either). Well worth a visit if you grew up in the 80’s and enjoy a stroll along memory lane. Won’t suit those looking for something modern and comfortable.
