The Bingham Townhouse

From the moment we arrived the staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The hotel is a quirky, family run small hotel and great value for money. While there are some areas that could do with a refresh, the room we had was beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable.we dined in the on site Chinese restaurant which was first class and great value, the quantity of the portions defeated us! Relaxing in the remarkable well stocked bar afterwards, again the staff were friendly and attentive, and prices very reasonable. It was so welcoming and comfortable we stayed all evening. Our bed was comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. Breakfast (included)the next morning was lovely, and the most generous portions I have ever had in a hotel, leaving me struggling to eat it all (I managed!) and the bacon, sausages and hash browns were, again, the best I've had in a hotel! I can't praise this place enough, especially at the prices charged!!

Given a key to room 6 - someone already in there. Noticed a small double bed with a dip in the middle! Stood waiting while they tried to sort it out - they told to go into the bar until it was sorted as fully booked. No offer of a drink while we waited. Eventually given a key to. No9. Bigger bed! Later lady came to offer the use of the lounge after we got back from dining out to include free drinks! On our return lounge was closed up, girl came out. I asked if the bar was closed and told yes!!!……. So no drinks! Very slow service at breakfast. Had to chase up porridge order. Husband had nearly finished his cooked breakfast before the porridge arrived, tried to get some fruit salad empty! They did bring me some. but no one offered to take my order for a hot breakfast. Where we sat by a partition with plants - ledge was covered in dust. I’d driven five hours to go to a family funeral. Didn’t expect that!
