Uncomfortable, couldn’t use air conditioning, most staff very friendly
Pros:

Most of the staff were very helpful & friendly.
It was clean.

Cons:

Double bed very lumpy; single bed creaked with every movement; had to turn off air conditioning due to rattling; only one person running breakfast inc booking people in, so stuff kept running out and had to keep asking for everything inc clean cups for coffee.
Other room, part of our family group, had door locking system break and hotel so worried about saving money it took ages before they final called a locksmith to get door open, so we missed out precious time with those we were visiting.
Emailed manager afterwards & chased it up, but received no reply
PS there wasn’t a cashpoint nearby, & nobody knew where nearest one was, which was inconvenient to me.

Pleasant stay at a well maintained hotel with friendly staff. Will defo recommend.
Pros:

Had dinner and breakfast, which was included in the price. Dinner was a 3-course meal from the set menu, very filling and delicious. Breakfast was decent, with enough options, but pricey if you paid separately.

Good value for money, and good location if you need a break just off the motorway
Pros:

The staff were amazing - particularly Mandy. When we mentioned that our room didn't have an teabags, she had a bag of essentials for the room waiting for us.

Cons:

We asked for a room with a bath, which we got. However I think that all the baths in the hotel are very short in length, so I was unable to have a good soak! The room smelled of damp.

Good location, but not good for those with mobility problems.
Pros:

The location, easy to find just off. Junction 25 of the M1, and surrounded by trees.
The very friendly and helpful staff(with 1 exception).
The excellent very full breakfast.

Cons:

The staff exception was the hotel receptionist; when I asked for a room as close as possible to reception,
because of my impaired mobility, we were allocated just about the furthest room away - requiring a long and painful walk with 2 sticks down
a flight of stairs and hundreds of yards of corridors.
The rather cramped room was not designed for people with mobility problems; I was unable to have a shower because there was nothing to hold on in the cubicle.
WE couldn't get the TV to work.
Finaly, the bed was not big enough for 2 adults - would have preferred a King size bed.
