Overnight accommodation for business trip.

One night stay, good night sleep in comfy bed, room is a good size, clean and tidy but a bit dated. Staff are polite and welcoming, restaurant serves good food and cold beer. I would stay at this hotel again if working on the area.

Same suite as before. The gym was a converted room with some dumbells, a rowing machine and an old treadmill but it got the job done. Good night's sleep. Fantastic shower more akin to a water massage and a good breakfast to start the day.

Nice friendly hotel

Stayed for 1 night to attend a conference. Room was very large and warm with proper radiators so it was easy to control the temperature. Breakfast was fine not like a large chain hotel breakfast but good enough

Only reviewing a single room, which were on the second floor in the corner of the property. Reasonable for the price. Noisy bathroom extractors were clearly left on by someone in the room next so needed ear plugs to sleep and you could still hear it then. Nice check in area.

4 hours sleep in 2nights, so not ideal

Do not be put in 320, its next to the laundry room which houses the boiler or something similar, every few minutes it kicks in and a noisy fan starts rumbling away. First nights sleep was not so bad, but I had several alcoholic drinks, but last night I didnt sleep at all ir my wife, literally laying in bed counting down for it to start again. Rooms are old, one window wouldn't open as the mechanism was broken, lighting was not great as one tub light gone, felt small, dark and dingy, felt even worse as I only managed 4 hours sleep in 2 nights, so if sleeping is your preference I would avoid. Room definitely needs an upgrade. Breakfast isn't that great either to be honest I was hoping that would be the saving grace but sadly not

Lovely staff. Some of the rooms could do with a little attention (beside lights and curtain repair) but overall a lovely friendly hotel. Would stay again and would recommend to others.
