Decor in bar a bit tired

The bar closed very early, and the chairs and tables were very shabby. The carpet needs replacing.

Tracey, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Nothing special

Hotel was quite tired and we were very disappointed by the fact that the bar wasnt open when we arrived, indeed it didnt open until around 18,30! It would have been nice to enjoy a glass of wine after driving for 5 hours, we also found that the towels were quite rough and didnt smell very pleasant

A great find for business trips

Spotless room, v comfortable bed, swimming pool was clean, thoroughly enjoyed my one night stay. I did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the food.
Diana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel was a little tired but clean, comfy bed and good shower so key point were catered for. Also a good selection and quality breakfast The hotel desperately needs some illumination outside, it looks closed from the main road and the inroad and carparks are not lit at all, it must loose trade because of this if it wasn't for the satnav I would of passed it several times before seeing it.

Great hotel

We had a really great stay here - the pool and sauna were a big plus for us, as well as the staff, who were all genuinely lovely. Great breakfast. Lovely big room. Nice lounge with games (including Buckaroo and Kerplunk) and books. I couldn’t fault it one bit.
