This property charges no shows even if you show.

Dreadful service from both Hotels.com and the Hotel. We altered the booking date, Hotels.com admitted a system error their end meaning we were left with a no show even though we turned up the following day. Both parties refuse to offer a refund leaving us out of pocket. Customer robbery.

Good hotel, great staff, limited parking

Great staff. Always very polite and welcoming. My only gripe is that the car park spaces are very narrow and the car park needs to be bigger (or share with the Harvester!) That said, it’s better than a lot of other hotels, and I’ve always been able to park somewhere. Lift hasn’t worked for more than 6 months. Doesn’t affect me, but I’d imagine that’s more than inconvenient for some others.

The Manager and her staff are wonderful.

This is our fourth stay over the past two years and, as I explained to the Manager at breakfast this morning, we cannot fault the hotel. The staff are wonderful and caring and have all been there each time we have stayed, there is no turnover. They all seem so happy, as does the Manager herself who is very proud of each and every one of her team.
