Very nice experience
Pros:

Staff are always friendly, breakfast was great and room was very clean. Will definitely be back soon

Cons:

The only draw back, which wasn’t their fault was lady next door was making loud noises until 1am. I was stressed and have Autism . Hotel staff would have moved me but I was settled in had my medication I couldn’t face it.

Great place to stay, staff need to cheer up and be more efficient at breakfast service
Pros:

Really clean, modern and comfortable. During the heatwave it was fantastic to have air conditioning. Also a great pub called The Star in Geddington just over a mile away, well worth a visit.

Cons:

Breakfast was terrible. Everything had run out and was not replenished until we asked. No cutlery and tables were not cleared by staff in the whole time we were at breakfast.
Upon check in it would have been nice if the receptionist smiled and made us feel welcome!

Expensive but good
Pros:

Everything you needed

Cons:

I did try to make changes to my booking so instead of my booked room for 3 people, I wanted to change the room to 2 people and add a room for 1. I emailed and they said if I called they could sort, but then on the phone I was told I couldn’t change, only add, which I did, but it made it an expensive trip. Therefore I won’t use booking.com for HIE again.

Very upsetting experience
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We arrived at the hotel to be told they were full and there wasn’t a room for us.
They did arrange alternative accommodation at their ‘sister’ hotel and although it was a much better quality hotel it did mean we had to travel an extra 7 miles out of our way to stay at this hotel and no apology or acceptance of blame was offered. I will never book to stay there again.

Pros:

The staff took payment from me twice. I booked through booking.com and paid there, then I was charged again at the hotel. The receptionist asked me to pay, and I told her I had already paid on Booking.com. When I asked for a refund, she said she would process it, but I’m still waiting. She is at reception and seems busy, but I believe resolving this issue should be a priority. I don’t understand their system.
