I have been using the hotel a long time but a few times recently I was told that all the best rooms were taken over by NHS and the hotel was almost full. There were no nice rooms left and was dissapointed. The staff did refund me as I decided not to stay. It doesnt matter what room you book you could end up with not a nice room if the rooms are taken over by NHS. There is no guarantee of a good room. I have not seen this issue in other hotels. Maybe its best to check before you book if the hotel will be taken over by NHS.

Service was fantastic, I dealt with about 4 members of staff whilst I was there and they were all lovely and very helpful. Down a star simply because I think they could modernise the rooms, they are very dated. But thank you nonetheless

This hotel appears to have a contract with British Gas & BT as the car park was full of vans. They only serve breakfast until 09:00. We had arrived the afternoon before from Central America and missed breakfast the following day by 30 minutes. We were advised to go to the local pub and have breakfast there. Very disappointing experience.

This hotel is mediocre at best. Room was basic, a little shabby even with big long cobwebs from lamp to ceiling. Guy on front desk barely even looked up at us when we checked in. Not the best hotel I've stayed in. A bit disappointed

This is a hotel that could be wonderful and in its heyday (1966) probably was, however the rooms look dated, and so does the rest of the decor in all the other rooms. What upgrades have taken place are superficial and do not really benefit the experience of the customers. New doors slam shut with such a bang that mornings are quite noisy. We stayed during a period of very hot weather and the room was stifling despite a free standing fan. Adding small fridges would have very helpful.
In comparison with more modern chain hotels there is the benefit of outside space and helpful and friendly staff. The room was very clean, but overall the hotel needs significant investment following which it would justify higher room rates.
