8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)
It was ok for the price but I’ve been in travelodges that have more room amenities. No glasses, just mugs and a kettle. All the sockets are extremely low and so it’s either difficult to or you’re not able to get the plugs in you need that you’ve bought with you. In our room the air con came on in the middle of the night, and in our room it had a spanner showing that it had a problem…so I was unable to turn it off and it was pretty noisy so had about 1.5 hours of trying to get back to sleep. Not the worst but also not the best.

Great staff, clean room, well kept. Unfortunately the breakfast was very disappointing, greasy and not quality ingredients. we are vegan/vegetarian and the plant based bacon was very greasy, only small half grilled tomato and almost burned sausage. it would be great to check for fresher ingredients

8.8/10 Excellent! (400 reviews)
Staff were amazing, the restaurant manager, Alfie and Caroline in the restaurant, stand out. But I have to say all the staff in every department couldn’t do enough. The property is amazing with amazing views across a beautiful valley. I had an exceptional breakfast two days running and Sunday lunch all of which were delicious and incredible value. The portions were superb and I was very full after every meal! I was in the Elliot suite which was amazing with lovely extra touches such as a stocked mini bar and hostess trolley with cocktails and all the equipment to make more! The bed was so comfortable and as I said before the views were amazing! I stay in lots of high end hotels and this is right up there with the best in my opinion, I will be back!
