The New Brighton Hotel

As a geography teacher, I have a deep appreciation for thoughtful planning and harmonious integration with the surrounding environment. Unfortunately, my recent stay at The New Brighton Hotel was a masterclass in how not to approach such principles. The location itself seems confused—a disjointed patch of urban sprawl that pays no respect to the natural geography of the area. Situated in what can only be described as a logistical black hole, the hotel is neither conveniently accessible nor charmingly secluded. Instead, it occupies a spot that leaves one wondering, "Why here of all places?" Once inside, the layout defies logical navigation. Corridors wind aimlessly, creating a disorienting maze that would bewilder even the most seasoned cartographer. The lack of clear signage adds to the chaos, making the hotel feel like a challenge course rather than a place of relaxation. The outdoor space, which could have been an opportunity to embrace the local environment, is instead a mishmash of uninspired landscaping. It's as if the designers simply threw a few shrubs and patches of grass together without considering the ecological context or aesthetic appeal. Even the interior fails to provide any sense of geographical coherence. The decor clashes wildly, with no unifying theme or acknowledgment of the hotel's surroundings. The result is a disjointed experience that feels more like an afterthought than a well-considered design. While the staff tried their best to be accommodating, the overall experience left much to be desired. The New Brighton Hotel could benefit from a serious rethinking of its integration with both its local geography and guest expectations. In summary, The New Brighton Hotel is a reminder that good geography—and good planning—can make or break a hospitality experience. Unfortunately, in this case, it leans heavily toward the latter. As a geography enthusiast, I can't recommend this hotel to anyone who values thoughtfulness in design and location. Rushton Fox Geography Teacher and Disappointed Guest

Absolutely lovely place went for wrap party after filming. Food was outstanding the buffet they put on for us was just beautiful. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. Thank you to all the staff.

2nd stay at this hotel....we actually got the same room as last time. Parking is available and free nearby. There is a lovely cafe straight accross the road as the hotel on serves breakfast on the weekend. The rooms are large and comforatble. Plenty of tea and coffee and shampoo and shower gel complementary. Iron ..ironinng board and hairdryer also included. Far better value AND cleanliness than the travlodge down the road. Would stay again
