AWFUL AWFUL, AWFUL, the room number 62, was O.K at best, tatty curtains, cobwebs on wall, damp carpet, and dripping taps, as well as as a shower that scalded or froze, booking in was fine, as for the amenities, the restaurant was worse than some cheap 2-4-1 meal deal ”sizzler”, the menu states ”Table Service” upon request, a 5 star hotel should offer this as standard, they were under staffed, the meal provided was well cooked but not very hot, and the ”locally sourced fresh mushrooms” were tinned button mushrooms. Service was reasonable, but serviettes/napkins had to be requested and were not given as standard, table clearance appeared to be an after thought, as in, ” Oh we had better clear the table” ”DUHHHHH” clean up up your act. Breakfast was worse than Tesco's, it was self service, the toaster was useless, bread had to be cycled several times to get any degree of BROWNING, the bacon, sausages, scrambled egg etc were under kept warm dishes which frankly were rubbish as the food was at best TEPID, a ”FULL ENGLISH” breakfast was available so long as you ordered the fried egg and black pudding in advance as it was not supplied as normal, I would rate this hotel as TWO STAR at best, Premier Inn, and Travel Lodge surpasses this hotel HANDS DOWN

The post code given on the hotel address did not lead us to the Hotel. It was difficult to find as it was inside an estate. The hotel is not close to the road. The sign at the road entrance is not very prominent. When arriving at the hotel, the building looks like a manor of some royalties which was quite impressive. Check in was smooth but there wasn't a lift and we had to haul our heavy luggage up a couple flight of stairs and through narrow corridors. No porters or conceige to help was a bit annoying. The breakfast was standard full english breakfast which was as expected. Lawn areas and many big trees around the hotel does provide a relaxing feel. There is a separate building that houses the pool and gym. This facility was not exclusive for hotel guest and open to people who join their club. Unfortunetely on the day of my stay, there were many people there and so I gave it a miss.
