We stayed at the Regent for 3 nights, we booked one of the garden rooms as they were described as seperate from the main building and a little more spacious. We were allocated the only garden room on the upper level with a little balcony with table and chairs which was nice, apart from the view which is looking over... More

All our Garden rooms have kingsize beds maybe the bed appeared small as the room is quite large, the sofa is brand new from Laura Ashley, weeks old!! and the bath is also a new top of the range spa bath.

We had a lovely weekend, booked only a week before. The hotel is clean, comfortable and of a lovely decor standard. Our room would have been more spacious without an extra single bed we did not require. Having said that, it was very conveniently placed on the courtyard, as we had a dog with us and had quick access to... More

We had chosen the regent for our honeymoon and were not disappointed. We had booked a garden room for a bit more space and luxury, when we first arrived and were shown to our room we were however slightly surprised to find that it had not been vacuumed properly and we did not have the advertised spa bath.

This is an attractive and well run hotel in an excellent location. The public rooms are comfortable and very welcoming.
