Pleasant but tired hotel.

The staff were pleasant, hardworking and helpful. The room was comfortable but tired, for example the carpet in our room needed replacing. The evening menu was very restricted but food was good and well presented. Cooked breakfast was not very hot and both poached and scrambled eggs very overcooked.

Highly recommended indeed

The service at breakfast and from staff generally is 2nd to none. So worth it overall. Really happy with the way we've been treated on both visits so don't hesitate to book here in my opinion!

An OK hotel

We stayed at the Potters Heron for a wedding in the local area. We had a pleasant stay but I would like to say the hotel felt a little sticky in places.It could do with a revamp tbh. However, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was good. Breakfast was plentiful and restocked continually. I felt sorry for the girl in the breakfast room on Sunday morning she seemed to be the only staff member working and was rushed off her feet! She did a great job though and deserves a medal!! Not sure if it was value for money?

Overall a good stay - The night porter( manager) was excellent. Comfy bed.. Dissapointed by the breakfast - Cold plates! Hot food not that hot and scrambled eggs had gone green as left for too long. Coffee on side not individual pots, cold even when new lot made and cups too small, so kept having to get up for refill.
