The location is great . The food and service is excellent. Hotel is a little tired and has a few layers of paint . Bed was comfortable. Shower overbath was usable the water was generally hot but fluctuated. Would probably stay again as the price of the room reflected this.

Ok, good location

Stayed overnight to be close to the office. Reception is nice, clean, spacious. However there was a £10 extra charge for my pet which I only found out at check in. The room was very dated. It was extremely hot. As soon as I entered I turned the radiator to the lowest setting, opened the window as wide as possible and it was still far too warm hours later. There was an event on so the music was loud and worse from the open window. No ironing board or iron- had to request these. Brought my own water for my dog and because the room was so warm even it was roasting

Don't let the outside appearance put you off. The staff were lovely, it was nice and warm, very clean and nicely decorated. The walls are a bit thin though so the sound proofing is not great.

Great relaxing break.

Havnt been here for quite some time. Big revamp makes a big difference. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. One issue was the room was very warm. Even when the radiators were tyrned off. However they did provide a fan. Evening Food was good, breakfast was ok, with the exception of the poached egg, that was perfect.

As others have said the exterior of the hotel doesn’t look much, but it’s better inside. This hotel is far from high class, but is clean and tidy and my room had a comfortable bed and a perfectly good shower. We didn’t eat at the hotel but did have breakfast which was good. Overall good and value and I would stay there again if in the area.
