The Villa Express

Really pleasantly surprised. This was a last minute booking we got caught short. Needed to stay overnight with the dog. I was expecting the room not to be too clean because we were allowed the dog. However, the room was clean and fresh smelling. Better still the Reception staff particularly the man was so welcoming and attentive to our dog Mollie. Definitely will return

The gentleman on reception (Paul) was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and warm. The shower was hot, but a bit old and is in need of a change of shower head maybe. No issues with the hotel and would both stay again and recommend. On a separate issue, the pub that is attached to this place, The Fairfield Arms, was a let down and needs to be avoided until some changes in the food department are made……have made my feelings known in a separate review!!

The Villa Express nice clean hotel and the staff is very good and helpful. The bar is nice and staffs. NO BREAKFAST at this hotel after 11.30. Its need breakfast before that time.. will come back to this hotel again

Stayed there on a Saturday night, booked a double room with a bath. The room we had (Number two) was a room for wheelchair users judging by the height of the bed and the hand rails in the bathroom. The bed - too low and very uncomfortable, it was lumpy and did not aid a good nights sleep. The bathroom - I am 6ft and like to soak in a bath, this bath was just big enough to sit in and have my legs straight, not without holding my legs out of the bath could soak my torso. The bath was also very shallow with the plud disconnected from the chain. There is rust around the screws on the chrome work and the base of the toilet where it is fixed to the floor is dirty (refer to photograph) The main room - basic clean carried out but very dusty, with dust on the walls, lamps, headboard etc. Could not have the window open as it was next to the entrance to the bar and a very noisy road. In the morning I had to go to reception as the electrics had tripped, when I mentioned the bed the receptionist said they have not had a complaint before and left it at that. So although I would like to have discussed it with them, they were not interested. All in all, I know it was only £50 so did not expect any form of luxury, but I did expect a comfortable bed, a decent bath and a clean room. Not a hotel I will be using again or recommending.

We stayed here on Saturday night got to The Villa Express Firstly we were welcomed by a very polite and chatty receptionist. Were given our key and went to our room . On entering couldn’t work out if it smelt of stale cigarette smoke or musty damp . Bathroom very dated and did smell musty it even seem to linger on me . On going to bed the bed was very lumpy and uncomfortable. Had to sleep right on the edge to get some firmness . Me or my husband did not sleep well . Room warm could not have windows open as so close to the pub entrance next door therefore noisy . Woke up this morning to no lights working in the room also lots of dirt and cobwebs in room dirty draw fronts hubby went to reception was asked if we had slept well we told them no they seemed very surprised at this . All in all a very dated looks like an old Premier Inn ???owners need to think about updating and cleaning and definitely replacing the beds
