Had to pay £80 online up front, not even worth £50. I know that the new owners are supposedly trying to renovate the place but no excuse for room we had at that price. Obvoius that our room had not been renovated, carpet old and 'tired', wallpaper peeling, en-suite was like a hole in wall, mattress brick hard, very thin... More

We were in the area on a business trip, and went for dinner at this hotel. Food was very good value, delicious and freshly cooked unlike some of the commercial chains.Our waiter was a super young man, Gavin, who served us well and was helpful and polite.. Next time i will be booking an overnight stay. thank you.

Had a good 4 days, great location and extremely friendly and efficient staff. Room 20 still to be refurbished but still comfortable and quiet. Good food. Music on Friday night and great spring weather laid on too.

I stayed here with a colleague this weekend, we were up for a charity bike ride. Whilst the staff were very nice and accommodating (helpfully providing secure bike storage etc.) for the price we paid the facilities were very shabby. I stayed in room 4 which is in need of refurbishment. I note an earlier review complained about the mattress... More

All the fixtures and fittings were old as we're the carpets. There was no hair dryer in the room. The new owners have a... More

But the place has changed hands about six months ago and new brooms came in to change things for the better! This is still an ongoing thing and is quite a huge task as most of the rooms need to be renovated. Well... More
