Horwood House Hotel

Horwood House Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Friendly staff. Limescale in toilet and splash stains on wall by radiator. Could do with more storage I.e. drawers in bedside tables. Comfy bed, nice dark room. Breakfast good, maybe a cold meat & cheese section would be nice. Our room was near amenities so noisy first and last thing, some signs reminding guests to be quiet would be helpful. We stayed for two nights, overall excellent we would definitely recommend and return"
