Excellent hotel
Pros:

Found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, staff friendly, approachable and helpful. Although earl grey tea was not obviously available it was quickly supplied on request. We travelled with a dog and the room and certain areas of the hotel were pet friendly. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return if we are in the area. Excellent value for money.

Great staff, clean rooms & decent bar.
Pros:

Stayed here a few times now and it is excellent. Rooms are always clean, staff are super helpful and the bar is reasonably priced. Only one complaint and it's not one unique to this hotel but the wifi can be poor.

Great for our needs
Pros:

Was visiting the British Masters at the Belfry & the National Arboretum. Searched for a convenient location for 2 nights & found this hotel.
Easy to find right off the motorway (but nice & quiet). 20 mins to the Belfry & 20 mins to the Arboretum.
Hotel was nice & clean, rooms good & a peaceful 2 nights sleep. Breakfast was decent in the morning with plenty of choice.
All staff were very friendly & we felt really welcomed as guests.
Perfect choice for what we were looking for & will definitely keep it in mind if we are every back down in that area & need a place to stay
