Very friendly staff and good food Very nice hotel room however the temperature in the bedroom was so hot without any thermostat to control it made sleeping impossible. Great Hotel, the next time I will bring a tomato plant
Great hotel, local to my company's Head Office. The room are fine but the layout need attention. Also, a suitcase stand for your suitcase would be beneficial.
Perfect 1/2 point stop for my trip down south. Had a lovely dinner Grace our waitress was excellent and the chefs Alex, Kaitlin and Kyle delivered a delicious meal thank you
Cozy and clean room, comfortable bed. The room had everything you need. The staff is attentive and polite. The restaurant has great food - delicious, large portions and a reasonable price. Special attention to the building - an old building with a magical atmosphere. Without exaggeration, I can say - this is the best hotel I have stayed in. Of the comments, only one tiny one - it would be possible to make the lighting a little brighter.
Was a fantastic stay. Restaurant was fabulous but a bit busy . But with food this good it was no wonder. Well worth a visit.
We booked here due to easy access to the motorway we just wanted a place to stay and did not expect much. We were delighted with the room, it was clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. The young lady at the desk was extremely helpful and had an iron/board delivered to our room while we ate in the restaurant (fab food). They couldn’t do more to help and we had an excellent stay. I would highly recommend staying here and am only sorry we didn’t get to look around the local area as we were on route elsewhere. It was so much better than just a place to stay and would make a lovely stop over for those with more time, so much better than Travel Inn/ Premier Inn, Ramada etc
This place meets my needs for something that is affordable in this area. It’s 5-6 minutes away from my place of visit. The prices are reasonable. The rooms are clean and comfortable for the price you pay. On-site free parking and the good food they serve at the pub are bonuses.
All the staff were nice and very helpful. The bar area was nice, and the restaurant food was pretty good too. The room itself was very nice but only thing was there was a terrible smell coming from the drains when we walked in. Once we had rinsed water down the shower and sink for a bit the pong went. Might be worth getting staff to check the room b4 giving out in case there is any bad surprises waiting for the nostrils. Hence why I knocked it down a star. Other than that I would definitely stay again in the future. Thanks to all the staff for making my stay a nice one.
