The pull out bed was dirty and the thin cover was dotted with marks and very unkept. The breakfast was very mediocre. I usually enjoy a buffet but this time I couldn't stomach to finish one plate! I was glad that our stay was only one night as I would not be staying there again. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gillian 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service A good value night away ##### Gillian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### david 21 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thought the property was a bit too cool (temperature wise). ##### david Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mishal 7 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Really good service and helpful staff. ##### Mishal Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterfront Cottage in the lovely village of Rowhedge, near Mersea Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Waterfront-Cottage-In-The-Lovely-Village-Of-Rowhedge.h21991946.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marlborough Dedham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Marlborough-Dedham.h4531072.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Stoke by Nayland Hotel, Golf and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Stoke-By-Nayland-Hotel.h807924.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Drapers Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Drapers-Hotel.h22454758.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Anchor Feering](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Blue-Anchor-Feering.h11537135.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Stoke By Nayland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Crown-Stoke-By-Nayland.h3697573.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [The Essex Golf and Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Essex-Golf-Country-Club.h1605688.Hotel-Information) > > [The Victory at Mersea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-The-Victory-At-Mersea.h6664417.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
