The Jephson Hotel; BW Signature Collection

It's a nice hotel ,obviously going through a large programme of renovation ,mostly completed .It's been renovated to a high standard and is very smart .My cousin who lives locally tells me that in the past it was not great .Today that's not the situation .Restaurant very good ,all freshly cooked ,breakfast good quality sausages ,bacon ,croissants ,yoghurts ,no cheap stuff .Good price ,roon very comfy ,quiet and clean .Staff all helpful and pleasant .Bar very smart .Garden at back missed opportunity and would be worth a do up .Everyone loves a garden especially in the summer .Good overall and all the best ,

Nice and tidy reception with very welcoming young man on the front desk. Best to park around the back of the hotel as there is more room and a shorter walk to reception. Corridors are a bit narrow for getting luggage to the room if you have a lot to carry and some of the fire doors could do with being partially glazed (think Premier Inn) so that you can see if anyone is coming towards you when opening them. The superior King room was excellent and had a really nice en suite although it did get quite warm even with no heating on. Comfy bed which was made up each morning. Good selection of cereal and pastries at breakfast and no problem in getting poached eggs and vegetarian sausages cooked. One small criticism for breakfast noted below.

Booking a single room I anticipated something rather cramped and basic. However, it was a lovely modern room with plenty of space and it was so nice not to have to trek half way across the hotel. The shower was great and everything was clean and tidy. Breakfast was good. Not loads of choice but often it’s better to do a few bits well than a lot badly.

The room for a single room was a good size and clean, bathroom had everything you needed and the shower was hot and powerful, my bed however wasn't that comfortable but I guess a mattress is a very personal preference, they definitely need better pillows as they were thin and lumpy. WIFI good and free parking was a bonus. The breakfast selection was good lots to choose from but the hot buffet ingredients were of a poor quality. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Overall for what I paid, it was good value.

Very friendly staff in the restaurant. Lovely decorations for Christmas. Plenty of free parking. Staff gave good advice on places to go. Location was good, only a 10 min walk into the main strip.
