Good break but rooms are cold
Buffet breakfast was spot on.
Only problem I had was there are no radiators in room just an air conditioning fan so it was very cold. I wouldnt stay again in Autumn or winter.

Friendly staff. Nice room, but the toilet seat kept detaching from its mounting and the toilet did not always clear when flushed. Limited menu for meals so we went to the Greene King next door, although the food there was disappointing.
This hotel was fine, the room was a little smelly on entry but it did settle when we opened the window. The room was fine, basic but comfortable. The bathrooms could do with updating. The breakfast is fine but limited options.
The room was beautifully clean, as was the bathroom. Staff were most helpful, and the accessible room we booked had everything to help my husband feel safe. Temperature adjustment in the room was straightforward.
Staff were really helpful, we had a wheelchair user with us and they gave us a slightly bigger family room to make things more manageable. I asked for extra pillows for my daughter and they brought them right up. All staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. The lovely lady on breakfast duty was absolutely lovely to my daughter, she actually brought in muffins the next morning for her as they had run out the day before. You have wonderful staff and because of this i would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
Comfy room, tea / coffee making facilities, hairdryer and iron provided which was great. Comfy bed and spacious room. Breakfast good and free parking is great. Only downside is there are no electric car chargers which was disappointing and caused us some inconvenience.
Small bar and meal availability . Rooms were great and clean!

Breakfast was good. Desk men arrogant and rude. Didn’t explain how to turn on electricity in room. Fire alarm going off at 4am didn’t help for a positive review either. There’s a restaurant next door but mediocre at best. Otherwise nothing else.
