We always stay here when visiting family. The hotel is well situated for our purpose. The room options are varied as we sometimes need two bedrooms to accommodate grandchildren. The staff are always friendly, and the room rates are always very favourable.

Comfy bed, powerful shower, quiet room. Breakfast and dinner were good. Only complaint was that the carpet in the bedroom could do with a deep clean as it was visibly grubby in places

A welcoming and dog friendly hotel. Very reasonably priced too. Our room was very clean & comfortable. Food served until 10.30 pm which is great if you arrive late. The food was very good. We will be happy to stay here again.

Staff were lovely, check in was smooth, and we were given clear directions as well as wifi information. Breakfast was cook to order and very enjoyable, with a variety of options. There were a lot of dead flies on the bathroom window sill. Dust and soap scum built up on the shower, which smelt awful every time you use it, as well as dirsty marks on the door and radiator. Beds super uncomfortable. The bedroom itself seemed clean, just not the bathroom.

Phoned ahead a couple of days beforehand as and for a top floor room at a quiet end of the corridor but unfortunately we got given a middle floor room with a herd of elephants up above us. The room itself though dated was cosy, comfortable and spacious and we have stayed a couple of times before so knew what to expect it’s just a shame the stompers above made so much noise.

Wonderful, friendly overnight stay

Hotel looked a bit daunting from the outside as it was just myself and my daughter staying. But i couldn't have been more wrong. Staff were friendly and gave us all the infomation i needed efficiently. Hotel was spotless. Room was exceptionally clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Breakfast was great. all the usual options and with full english, veggie and continental options included as well, and waffles with cream for my daughter. Using local sausages and eggs.. fabulous

This hotel is fine, but is looking a bit dated and could do with a refresh. I found getting to sleep more difficult because I was in a room with one of the exterior floodlights just outside the window, so the room was much lighter than I would have liked. I can't fault the staff - very cheerful and attentive.

They have a small English breakfast and a choice of others. The twin room was large and had a long area for eating snacks and making drinks. The roomy bathroom and the large shower was no messing, just on off and temperature, which stayed constant. The Hunter's chicken was the best I had ever had. Excellent staff, excellent dining, for a three star hotel it is above and beyond.

Signs for parking not great as it looks like a derelict car park on entering until you get round to the hotel. The grinding of the lift could be heard in my room every time it was used, TV was the size of an iPad. The WiFi didn’t work consistently. Shower pressure low. I had to wait 25 minutes for my breakfast. Even then I had to ask. I was told chef was sorting the delivery. The toast had hardly touched the toaster. Plus factor bedding was great. Not an overall great experience.
