Staff were brilliant in all areas. I could not get into my car as someone parked too close and as I have a back problem, one of the staff got in from the passenger side and got the car out. All staff were brilliant. One suggestion - as vehicle parking is not controlled by the hotel, they do not know the car numbers of the guests and there is no way to find out whose car it is. Please tell all hotels to take the vehicle number as it will be very useful in a situation like this

Cashless which wasnt clear on booking. Fine but the room was meant to be for 4. 2 adults and 2 children. As it was a sofa bed we didnt expect it to be particularly comfortable but oh my god... this thing was the most terrible, wonky, painful thing ive ever slept on. We genuinely have slept on the floor because its less painful. Shouldnt have to do that when youve paid £122 for the privilege per night. Breakfast was ok but very limited.

This property charges no shows even if you show.

Dreadful service from both Hotels.com and the Hotel. We altered the booking date, Hotels.com admitted a system error their end meaning we were left with a no show even though we turned up the following day. Both parties refuse to offer a refund leaving us out of pocket. Customer robbery.

Good hotel, great staff, limited parking

Great staff. Always very polite and welcoming. My only gripe is that the car park spaces are very narrow and the car park needs to be bigger (or share with the Harvester!) That said, it’s better than a lot of other hotels, and I’ve always been able to park somewhere. Lift hasn’t worked for more than 6 months. Doesn’t affect me, but I’d imagine that’s more than inconvenient for some others.
