"Scored a free upgraded room. Friendly staff. Great location"

"There is so much to recommend in this hotel, but there are issues which mean it's not reaching faultless. First, the positives. It's a beautiful building, down a lovely quiet road and a little oasis of calm from the traffic noise of the main road, and incredibly quiet at night. The rooms are quirky,with an eclectic mix of paintings and furniture, which adds character to the overall feel of the place. The bed was incredibly comfortable. However, for a boutique hotel, there should have been bottled water as standard, and not instant coffee and UHT milk. This was available but only if you asked. Now the negatives. It needs a paint inside, and minor issues need addressing. The cooked breakfasts are lovely, but the continental offering for a high end boutique guest house is poor. There was only oranges and apples on offer, standard Kellogs cereal, and the toast was standard sliced bread, brown or white, no other choices. The other issue was that breakfast felt rushed. We hardly had time to sit down when we were asked what we wanted from the cooked options, what kind of toast and drink. The cooked option was brought out before we had finished the cereal, and as the tables were so small, it also felt cramped. The staff were efficient and friendly, but if I'm honest, it lacked warmth. I would love to say I'd book it again, but sadly, I'd look for somewhere else. Thank you to the lovely lady from housekeeping who was a cheerful joy."

"Staff helpful and happy. Breakfast was delicious."

"The hotel and room was far superior than what we expected. Everwhere was spotlessly clean. Our room was very large with careful thought that there was everything at hand that you need in there. Breakfast was really good too. The staff were so friendly, polite and welcoming, thank you for that. Overall The Minster Hotel was a little gem find of a hotel that we will have no hesitation in returning."

"Did not have breakfast. The bar was well stocked and the staff were friendly. Room clean an tidy. Overall a lovely stay"

"Older hotel, so rooms are not modern, but are clean and comfortable. Staff went above and beyond to be helpful, so that was the best part of the stay. Nice common area and restaurant."

"Nice Breakfast and clean rooms"

"My friend and I had a girlie two night break at this hotel and loved it. When we arrived the receptionist noticed I was using a walking aid and unprompted started looking to change our room to an accessible room eliminating needing to use stairs. We were very touched by his thoughtfulness. It was an upgrade to a suite which was outstanding and it really enhanced our comfort and experience. We had a sitting room (with verandah) which was very comfortable and well equipped with a coffee maker, selection of high quality teas. There was a large bathroom and a super king size bed. Breakfast was nice, not outstanding but nice. The swimming pool was the big treat. Beautifully warm and the highlight of the stay. All the staff were very cheerful and friendly. This hotel is special and situated next to the Market Square which had lovely coffee shops, quaint shops and enticing pubs. Can’t wait to go back so thank you to all the staff especially Ali xxxxxx"
