Great stay but there's a little hiccup

Friendly staff and breakfast was included. The bedroom was clean and we did enjoy our stay.

We had our dinner in the hotel restaurant and the waitress insisted the lambshank was pork belly. We didn't pursue further as she was adamant that she didn't serve a wrong order, however, we can clearly tell the difference between lambshank and pork belly.

Very good

the hotel was in a great location for the wedding I was attending

it could do with a better sign at the entrance due to building works going on and some better lighting in the car park as very dark

Very good

great location for visiting friends nearby, easy access from main routes.

It was very hot during the stay, the air conditioning system didnt seem to work at all, and was very noisy! We got a fan for the room to help overnight.

Accommodation good,supporting service POOR!

The area, convenient to see other parts of the countryside! We saw quite a bit of it trying to find this hotel due to NO SIGNAGE!!

Lack of signage at the entrance,which is necessary as hotel is out of sight,referring this to the reception staff they just laughed!! No food available at lunch time!Little choice at breakfast! Evening dinner..fast food at its worst,and cleanliness of tables..lacking!Overall the attitude of staff was flippant,careless which needs urgently addressing!!D

Below expectations

Staff were really really friendly and helpful.

Mattresses need replacing. Everything was a bit dark and didn't feel particularly clean. Breakfast was a very low quality. Cheap sausages etc. Run out of pastries. The coffee wasn't a good quality. Has gone downhill since the last time I stayed in a holiday inn.
