The hotel has recently been refurbished and the reception area, bedroom and bathroom are clean and lovely ... BUT ... Be aware the adjoining Beefeater has now closed and the only place to eat is in the in-house "Social" room. During our stay there were only two staff members working in the evening. This was a Friday and 3 weeks before Christmas, so a busy time. One staff member was in the kitchen, the other was running between checking-in at reception, taking food and drink orders, serving at the bar, settling bills, waiting on tables, and helping in the kitchen when the cook looked like she was having a breakdown! They were both doing their very best and are probably on minimum wage, so I sympathise and have no issue with them. We had reserved a table and ordered food, but after 90mins without a sign of a meal we abandoned it and walked half a mile along a busy road to KFC. The bar had also run out of any draught beer. The following morning there was adequate staff numbers and breakfast was a completely different experience. Please treat your staff better Premier Inn. This was completely unacceptable!
