    The main hotel was lovely.

    The room was terrible, not very clean, very dated with a cracked window.

    7MichaelPosted on: 2-3-2026

    Staff were very polite and friendly but the youth could to have done with some. Experience.

    Staff were far to young and inexperienced but lovely . I stood at the bar 45 minutes waiting to be served.

    7LaviniaPosted on: 1-11-2026

    Location was ideal for where we needed to be Good comfortable bed

    9PatrickPosted on: 12-21-2025

    Location amazing , wedding venue unbelievable, see why we travelled from Liverpool for it

    Heating in one of rooms was a problem , but staff moved us , which was fine

    6DennisPosted on: 12-20-2025

    Ok stay, not a venue...

    Thought the room was overpriced.Previous occupants false eyelashes left in drawer Alcohol prices were outrageously high taking advantage of a captive audience

    8DawnPosted on: 12-18-2025

    It was clean and comfortable

    Radiator didn’t work so had a portable one

    Food and staff

    Our room was above function room so some disturbance by noise

    2HelenPosted on: 12-14-2025

    Never again

    It was a bit grubby seemed family run and like corners were cut

    9SuzannePosted on: 12-11-2025

    The room was clean and well decorated and the bed was comfortable.

    7MarkPosted on: 11-24-2025

    The hotel ticks boxes other than when female members of a wedding party are allowed to walk round the hotel in rollers on the evening and pyjamas in the morning - thought I was seeing things at first

    See above

    9PaigePosted on: 11-13-2025

    Very modern hotel and clean rooms. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We stayed over for a wedding and the whole experience was lovely.

    Nothing negative to say

    7DarrenPosted on: 11-11-2025

    The hotel was beautiful.lovely decorations & very stylish.

    Where as the hotel was beautiful the room needed a bit of tlc.The hotel wasn’t busy & we did get a great price for one night. But they put us in the far depth of the hotel.Which we found out the next morning when speaking to a staff member when we told them the number of the room we were staying in.Their face changed & they said you shouldn’t have been placed in that room .Doesn’t make you want to stay again which is a shame it’s a wonderful hotel.

    6WilliamPosted on: 11-4-2025

    Nice wedding venue. Comfortable bar area. Nice breakfast

    Stayed in room 22. Room was dated. Close to busy road and only poor single glazing. Very noisy from 6.30 in morning. Very nice cooked to order breakfast. Staff all very friendly

    8GrahamePosted on: 10-26-2025

    Property was in a good central location, although seamed to be very focussed on wedding guest hosting rather than catering for individual guests alongside the wedding guests.

    Convenient location, with ample parking.
