Delightful party and overnight stay

We held our anniversary celebration at the Crowne Plaza and booked an overnight stay. We had a wonderful time from start to finish- nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were pleasant, obliging and welcoming. A little niggle over parking was resolved very quickly. Everyone complimented the hotel and the food. Thank you Crowne Plaza for making a special day even better than we hoped.

Don’t forget the smokers please!

It was a lovely hotel in a great location but the smoking area was very poor. It was just a corner in the car park. Nowhere to sit and relax and the ashtray on the wall was broken. Very much like an after thought. A bench would have been lovely there and an easy solution.
