"Lovely spacious place, very clean, nice staff, well priced, lovely room.
My only gripe would be no curtain in the bathroom window, which looks into houses, but overall we liked it."

"Decent sized double room with better than usual lighting! Really comfortable bed and good shower, albeit on the small side! Off road free parking is always a bonus and they do a full breakfast if required! Everyone very friendly!!"

"Stayed during owners transition, that's why the kitchen served only breakfast and it was amazing! The same helpful staff. Short business stay, I visit a lot of hotels and I do appreciate smaller ones. Room had a nice design, comfortable bed and modern bathroom, all very clean and well kept."

It was immaculate and in an ideal location for me. The room was lovely and spacious with an extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The staff were friendly and approachable and the car is secure, Nothing to fault.

Room was clean and tidy on arrival
Staff went above and beyond very helpful nothing was to much
Breakfast was amazing lots of choice whatever your taste and all the food that came out looked good liked the fact juice and pasties where available as well as tea/ coffee and toast.
We took our dog and again the staff order water and happily gave him a sausage for his breakfast.
A lovely hotel in centre of Britain definitely worth a stop over
