We really need to know the context, regarding Stuart Maconie's observations.

It might be a glowing description, in relation to other places, for all we know.

Royal Tonbridge Wells might well have had a right slaggin'.

Gary, I went to Cheltenham and was really disappointed...yes there was a portion of the town that was 'posh'....but the main part of the town was no better than Accy.
Just my perception of it(Oh, yes...Ma wasn't impressed either)
