Food and service was excellent!

Very swish entrance, room was great, comfy enough, restaurant was surprisingly good, i enjoyed the open front to the restaurant giving very airy, almost al fresco dining. I was working nearby and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Food and service was excellent!

Lovely hotel and excellent value for money. Only issue was the shower was not working very well and we didn’t have to time to ask for it to be rectified.

Suprise visit to see family

Was ok. You can see what they are trying to do with the upgrades but bathrooms were still to be done and bedroom smelled of smoke as the perspn before had been smoking. Ash all over the windowsill where they had been hanging out. Main part of the hotel was nice but might off been better to close and do the refurb rather than have people staying.
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very nice staff and restaurant looked lovely. However, rooms are very run down - doors don’t close properly, the radiator can’t be turned off, there was a hole in bathroom door…general rooms in need of a update.

Ask for a refurbished room!!!

The hotel is going through a refurbishment programme the refurbished rooms are really nice, we had one that would best be described as tired!
Nicholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely surprise!

What a lovely surprise to find the foyer, bar and restaurant all refurbished. Feels amazing as you walk in. They're still in the process of doing the bedrooms, but even though ours was not done, still lovely and clean. The bed was so comfortable. The staff were very helpful, especially the manager. It was a delight.

there were no towels for everyone, there was hair on the bed, the shower was very bad and the breakfast was very poor.

6/10 Good

Stayed at this hotel before over the years, room was lovely, paid for a deluxe, shower in the bathroom was a disgrace, hardly any pressure, you had to hold it, mentioned when checking out and they said were aware already!!! Breakfast was disappointing, cold food, cold plates, had to ask for bread for toast. Think it might be used at present for homeless. Receptionist was lovely and friendly. Foyer area has had a refurbish and very nice.
Alison, 2-night trip

Booked a Twin room,have normally stayed in a Double. The room was very small and the single beds were very small.!! Like Caravan single beds. Did not sleep well at all.

Great Hotel

Very impressed. The hotel's main areas have been refurbished to a very high standard. So light, airy and fresh. Put a smile on my face as I arrived. They are in the process of updating the bedrooms, but even though ours wasn't done, it was lovely, clean, comfortable and the bed was really comfortable, with good pillows. I had an excellent night's sleep. The staff were really helpful, especially the manager. We will be back.
