Abbey Sands Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was small but clean though the carpet was stained. The bathroom was very clean , even the retro champagne coloured suite was spotless!! Breakfast was adequate but not much choice and only instant coffee. The staff tried their best to be helpful. There is a parking fee of £9 a day but no guaranteed space. This is a cheap rather tired hotel on a noisy main road, and you get what you pay for. Don’t expect too much They don’t serve food either which is annoying after a long journey to get there, and we really would have appreciated it"

"A unique place. Our room was warm and cosy. Restaurant was a high standard and reasonably priced. Love the Spa. Overall a good experience but some areas do look a little tired. I would recommend this hotel. Be aware of the £15 a night parking charge if you don’t book direct at the hotel’s price. The nearby council carpark is £11 for 24 hours, and street parking around the hotel is unrestricted and free."
