Be mindful when booking this property, rooms located in the Courtyard are NOT per the images. Far smaller and very outdated. Also, the rooms are INCREDIBLY noisy. We were awaken on our first night at 5:42am by a hotel worker taking a phone call in front of our room window. Second night was not much better, awoken before 8am by team emptying bins.

Staff are fantastic and so friendly, but the accommodation feels very dated and sadly the town is quite run down. Spotlessly clean, amazingly friendly staff. They have kept the outside looking as good as possible but the area around them lets it down.

We were allocated a very small room that looked out over the flat roof of the building and fire exits The room was very small and would not be great for along stay, we were there two nights and it was okay Book parking if you need it as spaces can be tight, there is another parking plot further down the same road and it far from hotel

Stay here a few times a year visiting our daughter and grandchildren. It’s a long drive so we treat ourselves. The staff are always friendly,especially Howard on the bar. The rooms are clean and I think most have been recently refurbished. Our room (15 I think) only had a tiny window in the corner which was frosted. For the first time we had real trouble parking. Had to park in the alley behind and then get up before 8am to try again. On 2 of the 3 mornings I had to park in the public car park up the road. I was told by reception that it was not possible to reserve a parking spot. Having to get up early after and before a long drive is not the rest I was hoping for ! We have also noticed in the last year or so that prices for the R&F and their sister hotels The Imperial and The Park have increased considerably.

Cleanliness is good, staff polite, bed comfortable pillows bit hard but that's down to personal preference. Toilet seat loose and wobbled about plus toilet seat lid coming off, quicker to fix itemd myself that get hotel involved. Drinks are not cheap in hotel bar, bar 62 noisy

All of the staff throughout my stay were friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely it was in the courtyard part not in the main hotel. If you are a light sleeper ear plugs are a must as the walls are incredibly thin and you can hear people coughing and in the shower/bath. Car parking is interesting as one of them is very small and people do not know how to park properly. I would stay here again.

The hotel is truly beautiful. Staff very friendly n efficient. Requested early check in with no problems as had understand 4 start. Only issue was room very very warm-air conditioning unit in the room- however very noisy & prevented sleep, therefore utilised very little, consequently little sleep had. C not fault anything else, centrally located n truly beautiful time had with family. Guess just one of those things unfortunately.

I am a bit hard of hearing and was only able to understand some of what the receptionist said. All her vowels were “ah”. Room smelled of tobacco smoke. Shower didn’t seem to work. Nothing was said about breakfast, so we didn’t eat but an apple in the morning. Nice to have the tea and chocolate to drink at that point.
