Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests frequently praise the Best Western Appleby Park Hotel's convenient location just off the M42, along with the ample free parking. Many appreciate the spacious rooms and bathrooms, while the open-plan bar, restaurant, and reception area creates a welcoming atmosphere. Some guests in rooms at the far end of the hotel have occasionally noted issues with water pressure, but many enjoy the freshly cooked breakfast and have found the chips in the restaurant to be excellent. The hotel's proximity to both Tamworth and Moira village makes it a practical base for exploring the area.

Satisfactory Overnight Stay

clean roomcomfortable bedhot watershower problem
The room was clean. The ensuite was good. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful.
There was no hot water in the shower. I think that this is one of the most important things you pay for when renting a room. The hotel failed to provide this.

I found the staff to be very accommodating. the room included convenient access to the m42, a real plus for travel. i appreciated the good breakfast. They cooked eggs to order. the big car park made arrival and departure very smooth.
the digital screen on the radiator lacked instructions, so figuring out how to adjust the temperature took a bit.
