"Disappointed with some of the trip as I was told this was a high level hotel with real distinction. £25 to park my car in car park for the overnight stay???? On arrival my room was not ready at 1:30pm & was promised I would be called when it was ready. Eventually after 3 o’clock I went back to ask about my room and was told I could’ve been given a room when I first came that was ready but just mine wasn’t ready yet. The staff member didn’t understand why I hadn’t been offered this option. I had ordered an oat milk. I had ordered an oat milk cappuccino and told them it had to be Sawyer or oat and was then served a cows milk cappuccino. Only when I tried it did I question it with the staff who confirmed it was not out milk. Only after this had happened did she ask me if I had an allergy. My room was old-fashioned but suitable and the bed and pillow is comfortable. Wi-Fi was okay and adequate speed. When I wanted an evening meal and rang to 2 of the restaurants, I would have to wait over an hour to be able to get a meal and at 9 pm for one of them was way too late. I was told to go to Merlin spa where I could eat and need no reservation but it really only had a burger, chicken wings and some sandwiches to eat. The chicken wings were okay but nothing special at £15 with chips included. The best part of the entire trip was the excellent breakfast which was phenomenal and extremely high-quality."

"The room was clean. Staff friendly enough breakfast was great as we were able to eat in the bar with our dog"

"Good breakfast choices. Room was small, but not a problem for only one night. Very clean. "

"Parked in disabled parking so no problem"

"The breakfasts were good quality and cooked to order. The staff were helpful and friendly and gave good recommendations for places to eat dinner. But the hotel is in need of refurbishment. "

"Bar was shut by the time I arrived but, parking was good and the staff waited for me. As i had been travelling for over two and a half hours i was happy to see them."

"Staff were excellent! Room lovely and bed great Very hot and AC or heat control and could not get below 21 at night. Adjusted sawyers not available very late - had to order on more expensive would not have booked knowing no onsite pub/restaurant available as a solo traveller that’s a must"

"Good location "

"Sadly this property needs huge investment. The whole place is really tired. There was no on there to welcome us and they hadn’t sent us the door code so I had to phone twice before someone would pick up and then had to wait for the owner to arrive to let us in, not ideal after a long journey. We had a garden room - which had thread bare carpets with stains on, the most uncomfortable bed imaginable and it just felt dirty. I thought from the pictures this place looked ok, but I was very wrong indeed. They really need to invest as it could be lovely - it’s a great location. "
