We stayed here for 3 nights whilst on tour. The rooms are pleasant and quite roomy. The food was OK. The furniture and carpets are cheap and scruffy. We felt quite trapped, as the hotel is a couple of miles from anywhere, on a busy main road, so you can't walk into town. We found the road noise quite wearing,... more

Really nice hotel, bit out of the way but lovely place to stay. Only complaint was bar didn't stay open very late and there was no where near by for late drinking. Food nice enough and rooms clean. more

Having checked out the previous reviews I was dubious about our choice of hotel, but our doubts proved unfounded.

Stayed two nights requested a change of room as the room had a damp smell. Although there was availability on the Friday night was told that nothing could be done as the hotel was fully booked... more

Attended a wedding in December and found the residents bar and hall for the reception splendid. The service was a little gruff from the waiters and waitresses and got gruffer as the evening progressed, ie sandwiches being slammed down without a whimper. However, management was much more attentive. My room had a wonderful bathroom but I found the bed arrangement,... more
