Happy with stay
Pros:

Didn’t stop for breakfast or dinner. For the price we paid it was all fine. Good for parking. Pleased with our stay and pleasant staff, easy checking and out.

Cons:

Location not so good as getting off the A1 you need to slowdown a lot before you can turn in as traffic traveling at 70mph can be difficult.

Pretty hotel that needs a new chef
Pros:

The property looks beautiful and there's ample parking. The bar and dining area were comfortable and warm. The staff were very friendly.

Cons:

First of all my room wasn't ready - and I arrived at about 6pm. The hotel has the dual carriageway running right past it. The food I'm afraid to say was quite awful. The prawns were ok, but the salmon and noodles were overcooked, tasteless, wet and inedible.

nothing like the pictures
Pros:

The location was useful, the car park was convenient and the staff were friendly,.

Cons:

The room didnt look anything like the pictures online, it was much worse. It was very old fashioned and shabby with yellow pine furniture, a very old saggy bed, artex wallpaper from the 70s, a shabby carpet and a poor bathroom with very old fittings and a shower curtain. I think picture 45 might be the desk from this room, but the rest looked much worse than all the others. The wifi was poor and intermittent, and the bath tap was leaking hot water constantly, so much so that the room was steamed up the following morning.

Convenient place to break our journey
Pros:

Very conveniently placed for a stopover on a long journey. Friendly welcome. We arrived late and left early due to our circumstances so did not sample the food or any other facilities!

Cons:

Clearer travel directions from the A1 travelling south would have been handy as we were driving in the dark! Our room was quite small but fine for an overnight stopover.
