positive:
Free Parking Spaces.
The free parking available for hotel guests is appreciated. There are ample spaces and the hotel is just off the A6, meaning guests can leave the motorway and immediately find somewhere to safely leave their car with no extra charge attached.
positive:
English Breakfast is Best.
There is a choice of English breakfast or continental style options, such as fruit, cereal. However the full English cooked breakfast is hearty, generous, filling and sets you up for the day.
positive:
Friendly Chatty Staff.
The reception staff are smiling and friendly and ensure that guests feel welcome. The bar staff too are open and add to the relaxed atmosphere in the bar area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No Frills Old English Style Hotel.
This hotel won’t suit those wanting modern, clean lines and all mod cons. It is a characterful, old building and that means it has some quirks. For some this added to its charm, others felt it was simply old fashioned. Most feel it is suitable to stay in for a night or two, but not longer.
negative:
Tired and Dated with Broken Fixtures.
Many found their rooms to be rather tired and old with broken fixtures and fittings. Showers are unreliable with water pressure, there is a lack of electrical sockets.
negative:
Overpriced Accommodation.
While some felt that the room rate offered good value for money, others felt they were overcharged for what they consider to be substandard accommodation.
