Hotel was dated and needed repainting decorating. However the staff was lovely. Not a 4 star hotel

Thank you for your review. We are undergoing a refurbishment at the moment and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future upon completion of all the works.
Hotel was very tired, damp spots in corridors and peeling or damaged paint everywhere. Walls very thin so could hear our neighbours snoring and engaging in intimate moments. Wine was expensive and very poor probably worth £4 but priced at £28. Very disappointing.
Lovely countryside location yet convenient for road networks. Warm and cosy room, spotlessly clean, large TV, modern bathroom, new bed and comfy pillows. Indoor pool, sauna and gym a bonus. All at a very reasonable price
Great facilities. I wish we were there longer to use them

This hotel is in a good location but it is desperately in need of a complete refurbishment. Bedrooms dated as are the main rooms and dining room.

Very disappointing stay. Bar area very untidy, tables all still had plates and empty glasses on them late into the evening. Tables therefore not clean
Breakfast self service, not great and paper cups for tea and coffee. For a Hilton Hotel really not good

Dear DeniseThank you for your review and apologies that we did not live up to our usually high standards. The bar area is extremely small and is being used as a dining area for this busy summer period. We offer paper cups as a takeaway option at breakfast but do have plenty of ceramic cups - please ask our team members for support if they are not immediately available.Do let us now if you are ever returning so that we can make sure we look after you.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager
Loved our stay and have already booked to go back.
We had an amazing stay and have booked to go back again. Staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. The service was great and the room was very nice and clean. We have recommended this hotel to others.

Dear DanielleThank you for your review and delighted you enjoyed your stay. To describe this as amazing really provides a welcome boost to our hard working team so thank you very much for recognising the staff in your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager
I read the reviews which highlighted some areas of concern but I booked because Richard the manager had taken the time to respond honestly. It was a good stay. The indoor pool was warm, the outdoor pool had seating, restaurant food was good. Yes, the building needs the planned work but there was plenty of space and a chilled atmosphere. We will be going back.

The hotel does look a bit tired and showing its age on the outside but inside the room we had was good. Pillows a bit too soft for us but that is a minor point. A bit noisy in the morning when the green keepers were tending the golf course which was right outside our window. A great location for local sights. The spa area is very small but OK if you go when kids are not allowed in. The outside areas are great for kids with lots of space to play and an outside pool if the weather permits. Overall a very good place and we will be back.

The hotel is tired and need of refreshment. The public areas are fine but the room was really shabby.

Thank you for your review. Delighted you enjoyed our public areas and I can confirm the new owners will be embarking on a refurbishment programme in due course. We look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy the facilities and also the rooms when all complete.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager
The hotel has huge potential but almost everything was disappointing for us. From the very slow service to the extremely worn and tired rooms to the pool that I’m not sure should be swum in. If it has a refurb it could be great.

Dear NicoleThank you for your review. You are absolutely correct, the hotel has great potential and with our new owners they are already making a difference but there is lots more to do. My sincere apologies that your stay was disappointing but I can confirm that a refurbishment is being planned but will of course take time with such a large building with 140 bedrooms. Do let us know if you are ever looking to return so tat we can inform you of any changes that will help you enjoy your stay.With very best wishesRichardGeneral Manager

Dear ReenaThank you for your review. You are absolutely correct, the hotel does need improvements and in time the new owners will be addressing these with much needed investment. However, it is unacceptable to have an unclean bathroom. Your feedback is very much appreciated but do let us know if you are ever passing so that we can look after you personally.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager
Dear SeanThank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager
Really nice place to stay, very friendly staff excellent range of choices for the breakfast buffet, spacious lounge area for a quiet drink or just a chilling hour before going out to your chosen destination.
It’s set in a quiet countryside setting but only a stone throw from the main A road.
I would have no hesitation in staying there again
