The rooms were outdated and filthy. We had to lay bath towels on the floor to walk around the carpet was so stained and dirty. Curtains hanging down half off their hooks, the mattress had to have been as old as I was. Staff were friendly and the grounds and pool were nice but would never stay there again.

A nice hotel with friendly staff

A nice hotel with friendly staff. A restaurant and bar, a grassed garden area and a large parking area. Rooms Comfortable, with a shower and bath. Minor maintenance issues in our room with loose toilet seat, curtain off of rail and dirty carpets that need sorting.

Our stay was ok

Our stay was ok. We enjoyed sitting in the garden and using the swimming pool. Didnt eat in the restaurant as wasnt much choice so had to order a takeaway. Service was ok. Had to wait a while to be served at the bar. Not enough staff. Drinks extremely over priced, £19.50 for 1 beer and a double gin and tonic. Shocking.

Photos online are not what you see on arrival

Last minute stop and photos don’t match the reality, staff were pleasant and evening meal and breakfast were ok. Corby trouser press from the 1970’s is an indication of the time warp this hotel is in. Fire alarm sounded at 2:30am nobody explained what was going on. Over charged by £19 for my evening meal which I luckily saw on the bill and have removed. Use Hotels every week and this was not what I experience as a norm.

You would have to pay me to stay here!

The outside of the hotel looked dated, the inside had a moldy stale smell. We were put in room 7. It was a large twin room. The floor boards creaked and the interior was incredibly dated. Although the water was hot, The cold tap only dibbled and so it took Forever for the bath to cool. The view was over the staff quarters and so we had to keep the curtains closed. The gym was very dated, rusty machines, most were broken, and very dirty. They were not safe to use. The Jacuzzi was broken and the swimming pool was freezing. It was not safe to use, and even when I aired my concerns, it was shunned away!! The hotel needs to be cleaned, serviced, and upgraded. I would need to be paid a lot to stay here again!!

Disappointed

Hotel staff friendly. Hotel itself is shabby and in need of updating. Heating not on in certain areas, pool changing area was freezing, I would recommend treating the jacuzzi with chemicals overnight so people can actually use it from early morning after all it is what is included in the price. Breakfast not too bad but the teabags they use are awful ( cheap) and the milk was going off ( didn’t drink) so overall apart from staff being friendly I won’t be returning.

We checked out before staying the night as we didn't feel that the hotel was safe to keep our children in. The hotel condition is extremely dated and in a poor state which wasn't ideal; however, our decision to check out early came when we walked down the hotel corridor to our room at 7:30 and smelt cigarette smoke and marijuana coming out of the rooms and heard a dog whimpering in the room next door. The guests who were staying in the rooms near us were extremely loud. As we were leaving the hotel we are fairly sure that we witnessed a drug drop-off outside the hotel. It is worth noting that the staff were trying their absolute best to be welcoming and helpful. They were apologetic when we explained why we were checking out early. The hotel manager called me the following day and offered a free of charge stay at either this hotel or their sister hotel new Drayton Manor. We declined but appreciated the gesture.
