10/10 Excellent
"Good easy-to-find location, reasonably handy for city centre. Big comfortable room. Plenty of parking. Slightly over-priced continental breakfast (but aren't they always?) - but they bring you your tea / coffee rather than you having to do your own out of machines, which is always a big plus for me. Had a quick evening meal here one night - nothing special but OK, decent value and nicely delivered. Staff were always really helpful - occasionally slightly disorgansied/chaotic but no problem. Nice hotel, good experience. Thanks."

"We were lucky as my wife and I were given an upgrade to a spacious Family Room during our 2 night stay. Room was clean and staff were very helpful. Breakfasts and dinners were well cooked and generous. My wife thought the home-made steak and kidney pie was exceptional. Great advice to use the Park & Ride. Location was quiet and tranquil with accommodation located in separate building to the rear of the pub. Only minor maintenance issue I spotted was cracked tiles behind the bathroom door. Otherwise, everything was fabulous!"

"Rooms are fine but could use a bit of freshening. Our bed was comfortable and the location was quiet. The continental breakfast was a huge disappointment. Several things were not available and what was served was just okay. The front desk staff are superior and they were very helpful with any questions we asked. The location makes this hotel a wonderful choice but don’t expect great food."

We had a leak in the bathroom from old radiator and toilet and were given another room without any hassle. Freedom to come and go as we pleased. Also parking deal so we could leave the car knowing it was quite safe. Staff were all very pleasant. The bar was good, staffed by receptionist so no bustling room but quiet and restful. We have been to this hotel three times now and find it very good for a quiet weekend."

"The Bat and Ball is a 6 bedroom B&B in a former Pub opposite the Spitfire Cricket ground. It has a small car park and narrow staircase to the rooms. The downstairs has a lounge area with guests' fridge, complimentary coffee machine and industrial microwave. Although you are not allowed to eat in the rooms, the breakfast room is available for use all day and evening. We used our own picnic set. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate. The television in our room buffered a few times but otherwise the wifi worked fine. There is a convenient bus stop just down the road on the P3 route."
