We recently had an unexpected stay at this hotel, as we were stranded on the A12 after experiencing horrendous snow on our way back from London. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and did everything in their power to assist us. The hotel is modern and clean and breakfast was delicious! I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anybody... More

Thank you for kind review. I'm glad that our night porter looked after you and although there was no room at the inn I'm happy we could offer you the use of our lounge rather than a stable! Thank you also for the kind comments about our breakfast. I'm pleased to hear you finished your journey safely and we look... More

Very pleasantly surprised and much nicer than i was expecting of a Best Western. I stayed in room 3 as a business traveller. It turned out to be the bridal suite. It was a lovely room very clean, comfortable bed and spotlessly clean bathroom with large bath and walk in shower. Room service was prompt and a very nice cooked... More

We recently held our wedding at Ivy Hill and we cannot thank the staff enough for making it a truly memorable and perfect day! The service was fantastic, every detail covered and overseen by Libby who was an absolute professional. Libby ensured any requests were met, managed the proceedings perfectly,but most importantly helped to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere... More

As a general rule, I always avoid 'Best' Western hotels as I find the levels of service and experience differ so greatly that it is impossible to know what you are going to find when you arrive. I must say the Ivy Hill did not dissapoint, the rooms were large and spacious, the service was friendly and effecient and the... More

Stayed here for two nights on a business trip. Overall this is comfortable hotel with reasonable service. The traffic noise was bearable. My only real complaint (and it is a BIG complaint) was when I received the bill on check out I discovered that 10% had been added to the bar bill which included all drinks, food and snacks. This...

I was shocked and concerned by the title of your review and when I read it I was further disappointed, whilst I do not like to challenge or question customers I do consider your review to be factually incorrect as we do not hide any of our charges. The service charge you refer to is clearly displayed in the menu... More

The room we had was nicely decorated was reasonably sized. The bed was extremely confortable also. The room had typical hotel amenities: TV, iron, tea making facilities. The breakfast was good, although the cooked breakfast was warm not hot. We experienced lots of little negatives while we stayed here which is why overall we scored the hotel quite low, despite...

I wouldn't ordinarily write a negative review on here but my experience was so infuriating I feel I have to inform others who might be considering it as a venue. I stayed at the Ivy Hill hotel for the weekend of a wedding (thankfully based at another venue) and was appalled by the service. The bride and groom had visited... More

Thank you for your review following your recent stay at Best Western Ivy Hill and I can understand your frustrations. Whilst it in no way excuses the way in which you were treated the V Festival is obviously a very busy time but all of our customers are important to us. I am disappointed to hear that throughout the booking... More
