Once in a lifetime
Pros:

De kamer was schoon

Cons:

De locatie, muffige gangen en kamer, het restaurant. De airco werkte niet. Personeel was uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam maar kon niks uitrichten. We hebben een deel van ons geld terug gekregen.
Het diner in het restaurant. Tip: ga voor a la carte. De carving is ronduit smakeloos.

Very enjoyable but not for those with disability issues.
Pros:

Hotel in good location not far from M5. Room clean, comfortable and suitable for someone with less mobility. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food good but a little expensive. Surprisingly quiet considering next to a busy road.

Cons:

Not suitable for anyone with a wheelchair or mobility vehicle. Bedrooms are in one block (disability rooms are across the length of the car park, then across a small road then the disability access is around the other side of the building housing bar etc. The pavement is uneven then the final ramp is steep!) The staff were always ready to help.

Fantastic location with superb food choices.
Pros:

The rooms that we had were excellent, the breakfast choices were very nicely laid out, the restaurant menu was also very good and the portions very generous. I would not hesitate to stay here again when we are in the area.

Cons:

The closeness to the main road with the roundabout made it quite noisy but as the overall location was so good it is a minor thing.
The staff were all excellent with the unfortunate exception of 1 of the waitresses who was obviously workshy|

Smelly dated room …. Don’t book here if you need a romantic night away!
Pros:

Uuumm

Cons:

Smelly rooms, dated decor, shocking carpets, house keeping obviously need a lesson in cleaning as
It was well below par! The stale smell
Of men’s urine in the toilet was overwhelming, the shower pressure was a joke , the damp smell In the Main room was difficult to escape. Even when the Nice lady in reception sprayed room spray to Lighten the stench! The bed has obviously seen some action in its time as it now sags in the
Middle of the bed and is most uncomfortable! Definitely not worth the money! Please don’t book here if you’d like a nice room for the night! Brekkie average! Just don’t bother…..
