Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing food, very clean. Weirdly enough my favourite aspect though was the shower with the controls at the opposite end to the shower head so I didn’t get drenched turning the shower on

Pros:

It suited our needs, near our venue for the next day, clean room, bathroom, and dining.
Could have offered water for the rooms,as going through a heatwave and no air con.
I liked the idea of the fan in the room. The breakfast area could have been done with fans, too!
Overall, we enjoyed the stay!

Worst hotel experience EVER.
Pros:

Arrived 19.10 given key card. Arrived in room which was hot! Fan provided and notice stating air conditioning broken (see review 2024) went down for dinner at allocated time 8pm. Had to find own water, glasses, condiments and cutlery ! Food awful 😖 soup cold, bread hard, pasta cold and inedible, chicken warm however, potato slices hot, veg cold, gravy warm and Yorkshire pudding stone cold ! Did mention to staff member who replied 'what do you want me to do ' dessert 2 slices of hard sponge cake slices and tiny chocolate donuts no larger than a 50p hard and that was all that was left. Did complain however there was nothing duty manager could do as we were part of a coach party. So looks like you have no rights in these circumstances.
