I have stayed in much better for less. Unfortunately I paid a premium but the property did not match my expectation. The breakfast was poor in fact very poor! limited choice. I wont be back. The room was ok , not the cleanest and I had no TV remote.

Nice bar area. Basic rooms, they don’t look like they have been done up for a long time and some of the interior decor has long seen better days. Shower was awful and struggled to get pressure. Breakfast restaurant was freezing cold. Not great value

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.

8/10 Very good

im led to believe it was once a great hotel, then it went downhill, it looks like they are trying to make it great again, it does need alot of work, the reception and bar areas are really nicely done, the rooms are clean and adequate, the staff are very helpfull and obliging, but theres something not quite right, managment maybe

2/10 Poor

Paid £99 room 24 for the night, breakfast not included, the room was so tired and full of marks. We booked as a treat we got a stag room than couples room, had a velvet head board and it had finger marks from last guests in it awful wanted to go home it was filthy, oh but Reception looks fantastic but after you walk past and into rooms area it is so dirty and tired, we took pictures it was that rundown disgusting. No info whatsoever in room about restaurant when I ask reception where’s info she said we don’t put info in rooms as restaurant is a separate entity!! Hello! The big board on the roadside says Hillcreast and Restaurant, Lift did not work. Our room was next to stairs door every time someone walked through it banged!! Put a bloody hush bar on it even TLodge have these. What’s wrong with you guys where has the class gone , we stayed at Prem Lodge week before IT WAS so clean, oh it knocked spots off your filthy room half the price. You should not charge £99 it was only worth £50 with a explanation that you are getting an awful room in fact you should show people the room before they pay shame on you Hillcreast I took pictures and the are on my fb page your room should be closed down it was filthy and tired and you really did not give a toss, close the section down stop ripping nice couples off, revamp but not on the go, have a look at the pictures tired and dirty so disappointing stop selling 3rd class at first class price.

6/10 Good

On the outside the hotel looks amazing, the reception and restaurant to. The front of house staff were great, friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was lovely but the room it is in appears to be a little make shift, as if it is something they only thought about. The rooms and room areas we a lot different. The rooms were predominately clean and tidy, but with issues. The furniture is very dated, with draws that dont open properly and just looks very different to the polished reception. When we arrived they was a pile of dirty linen left on the floor in the hall way, and was still there the next day. Not a great look. At one point the lift was broken and they appeared to spend an amount of time looking for a member of staff to reset it, just ring a repair man! H&S would have been better served by a qualified elevator repair service than Joe from back of house. On one of the mornings it looked as if someone had been sick on the front steps and it took a little while for that to be cleaned. I think for £100 per night, they need to up their game a little. Would i stay there again, I dont know. I do need to finish that the staff were very good and approachable.
