8/10 Good

"Close & convenient to shuttle train comfortable rooms with excellent facilities"

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had one of the refurbished rooms which we were thankful for, they have half renovated the hotel so far. We were very grateful for the fan they’d put in the room as it was hot. The room itself was nice and there was plenty of room. The curtains however did not cover the windows which did make the room lighter at night."
