“Well Worth Considering”

Stayed here for one night only The room rate and breakfast for £95 is an absolute bargain Loads of free spacious parking, lovely surroundings and plenty of places for a run or walks. Only one niggle the tv screen was damaged and spoilt my evening watching television. The room was plentiful, very clean with top quality soap and shampoo. Lovely view from the window Very peaceful night’s sleep Excellent evening meal and breakfast, shame you cannot charge anything to your room 😔 Will I return ? 100% Yes, can’t wait to return. Not sure why other reviews are moaning about the food, everything was excellent and well priced.

Arrived 16th to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Room 31 was allocated. Very nice room in the main building but we had to be moved after we unpacked because of constant humming from the bathroom. There is no way of turning off the extractor fan and it was incredibly loud. Even with activity outside and TV on the noise was excessive, we would never get to sleep! Georgina on the front desk was an absolute delight and went out of her way to find us another room on the same floor. We all agreed that all the rooms were the same, no way can the extractor noise be reduced or stopped. Usually this goes off with the lights but this system did not. So we had to move to room 125 in another building and sadly it was raining! Georgina, came to find us in the bar to ask us to look at this room, then came to find us again in the restaurant to give us the key. The delightful young lady went over and above what we have experienced before and is a credit and an asset to the team. She should be recognised for this and had a smile on her face the whole, nothing too much trouble. However, the food was disappointing. Breakfast, basic full english each day, fruit every day sadly was water melon and honeydew melon in a big bowl. I did find a single piece of pineapple on the 3rd morning. This is so boring, surely a 4 star hotel can come up with variations of fruit, banana, pear, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry? The menu was very limited and if you stay 1 night, then all would be well, stay 3 and you struggle as the menu never changed and it was limited. My husband had the same starter 3 nights because the other 3 items were not to his palate. 3 types of burgers, a chicken, pork and a beef at an additional cost of £3,95. Having paid £565 for 3 nights, I was surprised to have to pay a supplement. Again, 3 burgers, really? All main dishes were accompanied by garlic potatoes, cabbage, leek and peas. Surely, carrots, cauliflour, brocolli etc, etc could have appeared as an option as these are seasonal vegetables as well. Even a variation on the potato, ie, mash, roast, boiled would have been gratefully received. Based on the food, I would not recommend the hotel and feel extremely disappointed that your chefs cannot be a little bit more imaginative. The food let everything down and its saving grace was Georgina who was delightful. Perhaps, put her in charge as she has the right attitude and customer skills.
