Staff were excellent. Rooms dated and worn. Shower didn’t turn off without asking for assistance. Restaurant food limited as they had run out of some meals. Very drab and uninviting outside compared to hotel next door. Restaurant interior dull and mismatched.

Arrived early to get car parked wasn’t expecting to check in, just to book the car In on the monitor at reception . However the reception had a room ready so we were able to take our bags up to our room. It was a Lovely spacious room - very comfortable bed, bathroom radiator was very warm during the night couldn’t turn it down, but bedroom was a nice temperature. Breakfast also very good no veggie sausage option and I didn’t ask, but plenty of other choices instead. Unfortunate that there is a car park charge unless you book direct with hotel and also if you want to use the spa facilities. However overall enjoyed the stay.

Hotels.com or the hotel do not give the correct information to its customers. Hotels.com do not say on the purchase (false advertising) that there is a £10 parking charge and a £10 charge for the gym. However if you book with the hotel direct you do not get charged this and you also get a bottle of wine in the room. This was feedback from the hotel and they also advised that hotels.com have this information. So I was out of pocket for a false advertising cost by hotels.com or they do not let customers aware of this
