Welcoming staff, spacious rooms, great food and close to city.

The positives - a very convenient location within walking distance of the city centre, car parking (some spaces a bit tight), exceptionally friendly and helpful reception staff, good range of breakfast options, well-equipped room. The negatives - the newer rooms are rather lacking in character, and ours involved dragging our luggage down a long corridor, and it felt like a... More

Lovely Hotel close to the city centre. We stayed here on 30th March 2012 on a 2 night special break which included bed breakfast evening meal and cream tea for both days. When we arrived we were greeted by freindly reception staff who said that as there was a wedding both days at the hotel they would give us a... More

Attended my niece's wedding there and stayed overnight; all was fab, easy to find, easy to park and receptionist was welcoming and efficient, considering also that we were a party of 7 with 4 different bookings and 3 other couples also checking in at same time. Had our key within 5 minutes and room ready despite being there at 12... More

The staff were very friendly, helpful and willing to help where they could - even printing directions to the closest petrol... More

Dinner was nice enough and what was on offer at breakfast beat other... More

Situated in a lovely village with access to great walks along the river. Upon arrival at the hotel we checked in at reception. The staff were friendly and helpful. We went into our room, which was not in the main hotel. We had to request a different room as this room was on the ground floor right by the front... More

It was overheated in public areas, many of which were not accessible to people who were not part of the ever-present conference attendees. We were tourists, so it was a bit of an inconvenience. the wait staff were either very good, or too shy to be doing that kind of work. The breakfasts were very good. The dinners were arguably... More
