The Vicarage Freehouse & Rooms

My partner has just returned after a two day business trip. He said that he could not fault anything. The service was excellent. The food was superb and served piping hot. The hotel itself was spotlessly clean. Overall excellent value for money.

Initially, I was given a standard room, which has to be one of the worst hotel rooms I've stayed in. Poorly decorated, horrendous mattress, poorly equipped, and the smell from the bathroom made my partner gag. However, on request of details of an upgraded room, we were transferred to a far superior room at no extra cost. This room was talk and cheese, well decorated, nicely equipped and the bathroom was amazing, if not a little rough in places, but I could let that slip. The restaurant seems to only employ one person who is doing his best, but an hour from ordering to starters arriving isn't really good enough. When the food did arrive, it was well presented and tasty. In conclusion, I dont think I'd recommend the hotel at the prices it charges. Could be really nice, but it falls short in so many places.

My room was okay little tired, colleagues room was crap! Food first night was great, no chef second night. Place needs an atmosphere and upgrade. Will not be using this hotel again. George and Dragon in centre had fabulous food, great atmosphere and staff.
