Great stay - Quick check-in - Good shower - Amazing food although only serve till 8pm - Very comfy bed - They didn't tell me this place was haunted though! - Need better coffee in the rooms - A good quality coffee bag is always a nice surprise - But overall I was happy with my stay!

Pleasant stay
Would recommend. Electric car charging is advertised as free. It is in that you don’t pay hotel but charging pod does charge. No problem as I was surprised when it advertised it as free.

The £10 voucher towards food etc was non existent on arrival… I were far too tired to argue about it.
£23 for a breakfast is an utter joke unless it’s served by naked nuns

Excellent stay. The family room we stayed in was huge !!! Nice little separate area for the kids to sleep in yet still in the same room so we didn’t have to worry about them at the same time as them having a little privacy. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

I don't often review hotels on Expedia but I stayed here last week and it was lovely.
The room (54) was perfect and the restaurant ambience and food and wine great.
The breakfast was fab too

Almost filthy.
The property is located off a main highway. It’s old and needs a serious deep clean. There was food in our wardrobe, the curtains were stained, backs of the doors had something (food?) on them, and there was mould growing on the windows. The reception team was very understanding and comped breakfast, which was appreciated, but sadly I cannot recommend a stay here.
