The Hotel is undergoing upgrades - the pool Was unavailable but the bed was comfy, shower hot and good hot breakfast. Ok for price. I just wish they would upgrade/ freshen up the hotel front as my first impression was a scout camp! I’d stay again knowing what to expect

Hotel is in a lovely area and looks beautiful inside and out. The staff I met were nice, however was disappointed after having a long day to arrive and told they were not serving any food (was around 7pm). Our room was nice and mostly clean (empty bottles were left on the floor when we arrived) and the TV would only work on BBC1 and ITV and we couldn't use the remote as this didnt work either 🙈

Recently painted an upgraded rooms but didn’t mask the fairly old infrastructure of the hotel. I stayed in a room with an interconnecting door that was quite noisy from the neighbours next door. I would recommend specifically asking for a non-interconnecting room if you are a solo traveller. The breakfast had everything you would expect but the quality of the hot food wasn’t great. Easy parking and as budget hotels go it wasn’t the worst.

Parking was straightforward. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and the mattress was pretty lumpy. Our TV didn't work but the receptionist was incredibly helpful and eventually moved us to an alternative room. Location can't be faulted. Breakfast was fairly basic but no particular complaints.

It is so unfortunate that a hotel with this potential has been somewhat neglected. We have visited previously and the change since then is apparent. Still wonderful staff, still a fantastic location but the rooms are in dire need of attention. Nothing as horrific as mould or dirt, still very well cleaned but the cleaners have an uphill struggle with the aging of the property. We will most likely return, it's still a good hotel but it could be fantastic!!

Had to ask for a different as the room we were originally given was horrendous. There was dirt everywhere, splatters up the walls, chunks missing out the walls, mould on doors and in the bathroom, one of the electrical fittings were loose. The room they moved us too wasn’t much better but we were down for a wedding and was convenient location. The hotel needs a good bit of TLC which after speaking to the manager in charge did state that was the case. The staff were great though, really polite and super helpful when there was an issue.. it’s just a shame the property itself didn’t match how good the staff were.

Room was adequate and clean although there were glasses and a broken travel cot left in communal areas for the duration of our stay. we didn't eat so cannot comment. Requested additional towels after booking room for 3 but were only supplied one. The most disappointing thing was that we booked this specifically as we were travelling with a child and it was advertised as having a pool. Unfortunately due to refurbishment it turns out the pool is unavailable for 2026 which after a 30 degree day spent at the zoo was unwelcome news and had hotels.com made this clear on booking we would have booked an alternative hotel.
