The Spinney

Nice location - great parking

We had a kettle with no coffee mugs or cups. There was no fan or aircon in the rooms. As a result it was extremly hot room 9 which my daughter was in was unbearable with the heat. Also the room we where in a light bulb was missing small things make a big difference. I also communicated with the facility about check in and breakfast option to which i to this date have not received a reply.

Clean and quiet

Wished there had been a fan in the room due to the extreme heat

The location was perfect, it was ideal to access facilities for dining in the evening. Beautiful setting and location.

Other people staying, slamming doors, in particular the entrance to the building and the room next to us. However, we appreciate that it is difficult due to the decor and building layout.

Double room was quite small (one side of bed against wall – see hotel photos) but the bed was fine and adequate for two people. Wifi worked fine, as did the TV. Everything was clean. Oddly, there were no cups in the room or in the kitchen, so we had to organise our own drinking vessels. The price was very reasonable, and for 2 nights our accommodation was perfectly acceptable. The location is the best thing about the Spinney: a couple of minutes' walk to the railway station, the bus station, and the town's large shopping precinct, The Lexicon. A very nice, friendly café is also only a couple of minutes' walk from the Spinney, right beside the bus station. The house is on a quiet residential street. Overall, perfectly satisfactory given that our accommodation was so competitively priced.

Sadly, the couple in the next room who came in late on our second night (during Ascot Week) did not seem to have made note of the house rules, clacking up and down the hallway in high heels, banging things in the kitchen, talking very loudly and dropping stuff noisily. Obviously not the Spinney's fault but perhaps more needs to be done to insulate against noise.
