7/10 - Ok but room to improve

Overall the stay was ok - positives were size of room, cleanliness and facilities in it. Negatives were condition of rooms, temperature and poor eco awareness. The hotel has apparently changed hands in the last 3-4 months which may have impacted things and hopefully they can sort out. Hotel room carpets were heavily stained in places and generally tired. It was clean, but clearly needs tidying up - especially at £130 a night for the room we had. Bathroom was missing sink plugs in sink and bath, so no way of holding water in. Just meant we wasted water running it down the plug hole instead. The other thing was the hotel block was very warm - too warm. Again wasting energy as we just had to open the windows for the hotel rooms to cool down. Staff were however very polite and pleasant. Breakfast was nice- nothing special but enjoyable enough. We would probably go again, although not sure I’d pay that much for a room again.

Reasonable.

Friendly front of house, but not the friendliest in the restaurant, I guess they were busy that night. Menu is Indian food with a handful of pub grub additions, but nothing particularly healthy. The rooms are nice, with good amenities.

Will never use under this new management

The hotel was closed. We were not informed of the closure. Our clients arrived from Singapore and Australia to find notices on the door that it was closed for the foreseeable future. The hotel has been taken over by new management who clearly thought not contacting customers to provide them with this information was acceptable. Having spoke with the previous management( who were amazing!), They explained that all current booking information was provided at hand over. We will never be using this venue again whilst under this management. Appalling!

The place was lovely and the Indian restaurant associated with it truly delicious. Staff were courteous and attentive. However, our bed was super hard and uncomfortable, and neither of us got a wink of sleep. But honestly, that was the only downside to an otherwise lovely stay.
