Breakfast, cooked fresh was of a high standard. Staff very friendly & helpful, although not a lot of them, they seemed to be muti-tasking. Only complaint was the heating, far too warm in rooms, windows didn't open & no way to cool off.

We had a lovely stay for a family wedding. The venue is stunning. My only complaint is that the cist of rooms was almost trippled for the night of the wedding which i think is a bit unfair.

I would not rate this hotel or the service at all. I came all the way from Bristol to go to a funeral at the church mins away. I arrived early and explained my friends were outside but would it be possible to check in early or leave my bag (I also emailed ahead to advise of this). I was advised to wait in the bar/reception. They did allow me to check in early but only after did they tell me I had to pay an additional charge of £20. If I'd known this in advance I wouldn't have checked in! Also a light switch was hanging off the wall, bathroom mirror is rusty and sheets are dirty. I asked for a room upgrade but this didn't happen, although the light switch has been fixed.

The room was clean, towels and linens of decent quality. There was some mould around the shower tray. The room wasn’t anything outstanding for the price. The breakfast was average, there didn’t seem to be enough staff to clear tables and serve which lead to a long wait for hot drinks and food. The buffet cold items and juice were slow to be topped up. Staff were polite.

A dreadful stay unfortunately. On the night of my stay there was a wedding going on downstairs. Whilst the noise from the wedding didn’t bother me when going to bed, I was woken by wedding guests shouting, singing and playing music in the corridor. The carry on continued until 4am not before wedding guests passed from room to room shouting and banging doors. I tried calling reception to complain but no one answered the phone. No compensation or apology provided when checking out the next day, just confirmation that another guest had also complained to reception. At breakfast the porridge was dry and I heard another guest request tomato sauce for their bacon only to be told they were out of stock. My room was tired and dated, with the odd leftover stray hair from previous guests found in the bathroom. No water provided in the room either. I won’t be staying again as I simply cannot afford a bad nights sleep when away on business. Very disappointing.

The wedding venue part was beautiful, as was the lobby. There were negatives but overall I would stay here again. Just in a different part of the building

When I arrived at 8pm after a long journey, I was advised by reception that the kitchen woudl be open until 9:15pm. Unfortunately this was not the case and it closed at 8pm which meant that I could not have dinner, although I was offered a packet of crisps! The room was clean, but the net curtains were torn. Breakfast was nice, but overall the stay was not as enjoyable as it could have been.
