"The outside of the building looked run down but the inside was lovely! "

"Our family room was perfect for us - my daughter loved the bunk beds and having the outdoor area was lovely and so handy for our dog. The breakfast was lovely, the staff were very friendly and we could even charge our electric car. The location was perfect too. There was nothing I would change about our stay! "

"Good location and clean "

"Large spacious room, comfortable beds, small but modern bathroom, great setting and nice and quiet over night, free parking on site. Staff were very helpful with any of our questions, breakfast was freshly cooked with plenty of variety and all for a very reasonable price. Will definitely return"

"Absolutely terrible place. Booked using Hotels.com which stated staff were there until 11pm to book you in - I have been online again and checked that this is still the advertised checking in time and it is. A telephone number is given to book in with that no one answers and the phone goes to discontinued and the line goes dead. Drove in from Cambridgeshire and arrived at 10:55pm to a deserted, bleak building. Knocked in the front, back and side doors (greasy/ dirty glass), rang the reception countless times, absolutely nothing. Doors greasy, building black and depressing. I frightened the rats around the back area rummaging through the litter in the area when I came back into the area doing a circuit of the building looking for a door with a light that might be suggestive of a reception area. A resident came down for a cigarette and let me in to a greasy smelling stairwell with a dark room to the side that opens into the cafe area, so no visible reception there. There was no way to get into the paid for room so I was left having to book last minute accommodation at another nearby motel. Not what you want after a long journey but honestly relieved after seeing the state of the place. Avoid."

"The family room was set up in a way where the air conditioning unit was blowing directly onto one of the beds, this made it inpossible to sleep without having a freezing cold breeze. When telling the hotel staff the next morning, the boomer woman at reception didn't seem to care, offered no apology and said "there's nothing we can do about that"."

"Short walk from train station and easy access to shops and cricket ground."

"No running hot water. Called in the evening and again in the morning with no answer. Cold shower it was. Room was too much money for the condition. Location however is convenient."

"In a single room it didn’t feel I was treated the same as friends and family staying in double or family rooms. It was clean and adequate but not special. Breakfast buffet bacon and eggs first morning was not hot but there are freshly cooked alternatives. Evening menu was limited and not great although the hotel seemed half empty so I think the main restaurant was not open. Staff were generally very pleasant and helpful although one waitress spilled milk on my table said sorry but made no attempt to clear it up. Small things that leave an impression. Overall a nice historic hotel and very convenient location let down by small issues. "
