Perhaps most important of all- what special offers is the hotel running! Everyone
will have different requirements and some places offer more options and choices than others. Often the bigger ultra modern motels are no where near as friendly or as accommodating and welcoming as one that is full of period charm and has been run by the same family for generations. Perhaps great service and caring about their guests is in part a trait handed down through the generations, who can tell. I can actually recommend a fantastic 16th century hotel in Somerset, called the Exmoor White Horse. You can check out their website for details here http://www.exmoor-whitehorse.co.uk/ I have always more than enjoyed my stay with them and their service and attention to detail, is second to none.
