"The biggest surprise for me was the food. Yes, a limited "pub grub" type menu, but what can you expect at that price?"

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Fenwick Hotel is a popular choice, especially for lunch, with many guests returning regularly to enjoy the lovely and warm food. The Sunday carvery is a standout, known for its great selection of meats, vegetables, and potatoes. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, though some guests in rooms near the motorway have noted traffic noise, which the triple-glazed windows aim to mitigate. Many appreciate the good selection at breakfast and the option to relax in the outdoor area when the weather is nice.

the FOOD in the restaurant met expectations.

i was quite irritated with some aspects of my stay. The carpets in the corridors were tired AND needed replacement. The duvet felt uncomfortably heavy, especially considering it was july. This made sleeping difficult and the room stuffy.

i found all the staff very attentive and helpful, which i think is very good. i needed assistance with my luggage, and they helped immediately. the restaurant staff made sure i had everything i needed so very appreciated.

my room faced the road and the noise was noticeable, so that was not very pleasant. i think they need double glazing windows.

the shower did not work. when i reported it, i was told hopefully it would be fixed for the next resident. i thought an apology would be appropriate.
