Room was clean and the beds very comfortable. The creaky floorboards were a bit of an issue, very loud in both the room we stayed in and the one directly above us! It is however a very old building so that is to be expected. The lift wasn’t working but wasn’t an issue as we were on the second floor. We didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food but the location was ideal

The County Hotel is very dated but the price is usually ok.Hotel is always very clean and staff are good.
Lovely old Hotel just around corner from Railway Station. Very central. Busy area and, having stayed on a Friday night, was a lot of people around. Room was very adequate for one. Had bath and shower over bath. Bed very comfy and option of 2 pillows.
I sleep well almost anywhere, so noise from business next dooe did not keep me awake. Earplugs provided if you are a light sleeper.
Staff friendly on arrival and check out.
What a lovely place to stay ❤️
Only a 5 minute walk from the train station very friendly

Disliked: Amenities
The reception and cleaning staff were very helpful. The hotel decor is rather dark and dated. The lift was out of order so I had to go up 6 flights of stairs to my room.
The fire/room doors do not have a soft close option so you are often disturbed.
Walls are fairly thin, voices/tv can be heard through them.
Breakfast was adequate, I have had better.
Rooms are a good size, with plenty of towels/toilet roll (1 ply), tea and coffee. Very good size tv.

The room was spacious but it's very close to the toilet we can hear the extractor fan. The squeaky noise floor whenever someone is walking but overall was good, receptionist are nice and welcoming. Great location.

Fantastic location to the train station and shopping area.
Staff was brilliant however, the room needs to be re furniture, cleaned better and maybe better sound proofing the rooms. First floor corridors smells very bad.
