    Good Stay Here!…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    It was a good stay. We do not have a car but the staff especially Roxanne the receptionist went out of her way to show us nearby trails for sight seeing as well as getting the bathroom light fixed ASAP! Overall the entire staff seemed very hard working and pleasant :) Oh and the scenic view at a motorway service station will really blow anyone’s mind away! My husband and I loved the locations of the hotel.

    Very helpful over booking mishap…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    I can't comment on our stay at this hotel, as when we arrived for check-in the receptionist informed us that the Expedia systems had been down so they hadnt received our booking. The hotel was full and they couldn't accommodate us. I belive this was no fault of their own. However, they very kindly found us a room at a neighbouring hotel and paid the price difference. This was very kind of them, and saved us having to sleep in the car, as everywhere was fully booked with it being bank holiday weekend. Thank you for sorting us out County Hotel.
