Good

Old decor in need of refurb. Stains, items below beds and left over in shower.
Carpet lose between rooms, trip hazard that did its job.
Poor.
Breakfast was overly expensive for the portion. Not alloeed more than alloted amount. Then forgot to come back woth cpffee.
The hot Breakfast although plentiful was barely warm, and the EV charging a joke, 6 bays occupied by 5 petrol cars and one Ev which wasn't even plugged in, why ask for Reg no's if as you say you can't do anything about it!!!
Unfortunately I didnt stay as the rooms were not clean enough. The light switvhes were all dirty cobwebs on lamps, daddy lonlegs on coach. The lift walls & carpet were filthy. I was taken to a 2nd room which had been checked & on openi g door filthy light switch. Due to my immune system i have to be careful not to get infections so i didnt stay & left. Hitels.com issued refund.
The staff at the hotel were friendly & tried to be helpful but cleainess needs to be overhauled.
A real shame our room smelt of and had evidence damp. Either of rising or from long term leaks withing bathroom
Otherwise the service was good, bed comfortable and breakfast great.
Firstly, i'm pretty low maintenance, as long as I have a bed, food & TV I'm happy.
However, i was really dissapointed that the TV was very old and not a smart TV. Not many hotels have the basic tv in this day and age, especially a 4* hotel.
Oh well! Could always watch my.smart phone. Moving on to food! I have never ate a Lasagne with no cheese. The meal cost more than the room! I have ate better from Wetherspoons. You should get what you pay for. Very dissatisfied. Staff were attentive and lovely in the restaurant, however every table has water and wine glasses that dont get removed and cleansed for the next customer if not used. As a nurse I am very aware of infection prevention. I think the management need Gordan Ramsey in! Sorry I will not be returning.
Not the warmest reception experience I’ve had…a bit efficacious. The room needed a clean by me, but I am quite fussy. A nice facility very near the motorway which could be great with a little more attention to detail

Great food !
It's several years since I stayed here and it looks like in that time it hasn't had a refresh which it now needs. Little things can make all the difference but my biggest complaint was the radiator in my room it was too hot to touch and the room was very warm. There was however a fan provided and it was on all night! Why not fix the radiator problem and the fan wouldn't be required? However the food did not disappoint portions were huge and very tasty staff were lovely and very attentive :-)
