Great location. Friendly professional staff. Good GF options. Mainly mid to older guests, but it was term time. Hot tub could have been hot rather than warm.

People were quite friendly. The room was clean, nice and warm. The pool was a great opportunity to get some lap swimming in during my brief stay. It helped me sleep like a baby, despite having traveled 8 time zones and about 12 hrs to get there.

Parking, Spa, L’Occitane bath products, bathtub!, vegan breakfast, Christmas decor. Would have liked/preferred a deluxe room with either a king sized bed or 2 twins…double bed was small for 2 women friends.

I had a wonderful stay. They have added/changed to entrance/bar area and it certainly has added to the atmosphere of the hotel. Nightly music was superb as I wanted a restful break so the pianist was excellent. Bed very comfortable but rooms slightly dated in comparison to the updated new entrance. Pool area was spotless and all sauna and steam room jacuzzi were warm and working. Staff very friendly and efficient. It was great to see James (owner) present, checking we are ok, exchanging pleasantries and working like everyone else. Very enjoyable stay. Prices have increased since I was last there but that is to be expected.

Under construction so obviously there is some disarray outside and noise . The hotel accounted for that prior to us arriving, so we were aware. Great property, convenient with a great staff.

The only negative I would say is right now it is under renovations which we didn’t know until after we booked. More significant signs for entrances and dining would have been helpful.

We loved this hotel! Our room was quiet, clean, modern and quite large. The desk agent was very friendly and welcoming. There was plenty of parking available and we were able to walk across the parking lot for dinner and also just around the corner to pick up some snacks for our road trip. Breakfast was wonderful with many options to choose from.

It’s time for this hotel be modernized a little bit. I know you wanna keep your historic values but I believe you could do that while also bringing some modern amenities to the hotel. With no air conditioning and only being able to slightly crack your window and not haven’t ceiling feelings it made it difficult to sleep throughout the night with the room being so hot.. Also, the street traffic took some getting used to. Note: The staff were very pleasant and friendly.

We paid for a deluxe double room & didn’t see anything deluxe. Very basic room. The tea/coffee facilities squeezed into a tiny gap hanging off the edge. Tile’s broken on bathroom floor. Overall would have been grand if it hadn’t been the price we were charged. The castle across the road was only £57 more & that was phenomenal so we expected more for the price.

An average hotel with rooms that are a little on the dated side. The shower was awful and barely a trickle. We ate in the bar during the evening and although the food was good the waiting staff were inattentive and unfriendly. Breakfast in the morning was average. No vegetarian options for a hot breakfast - just fruit and cereal.

Pros: Staff were lovely, very friendly. Room was your basic standard room, decor outside the room was fabulous -dining room, bar etc Food was delicious Cons: Our door wouldn’t lock but the girl from reception came and fixed it in a prompt manner, lucky we checked it! I don’t think I’ve stayed in a noisier hotel, 5.50am woken with banging from Lorry’s (laundry and bin). I could hear everything from next door, walls felt like they were paper thin, wasn’t a cheap stay so would expect more for the price

Laundry bag done for e14 and ready for us the same day if we left it early. We were happy with the room which was modest but quite acceptable and pleasant. Nice staff. Easy parking.
