I stayed here with work and although comfortable the rooms are bit shabby, in need of a lick of paint and a good clean. A tip: the rooms are in converted outhouses and the Walls are thin and if you are on the ground floor you can hear every movenent from the people in the room above. This can get annoying. On the whole an average stay.

This hotel is in a nice setting but for £80 a night, you would expect a lot more for your money.
The rooms are very basic but nice. The only TV offering (all be it on a big widescreen tv) are the 5 analogue channels, which a very fuzzy!

The rooms are clean, but you can see where the hard to reach places are that have been left for a while.

There is no aircon in the room (2x fans supplied) but I found it so hard to sleep even with the windows open.

I would either spend the extra and stay in the Marriott down the road, or stay in a travel lodge. It would probably be more comfortable!

One good thing though is the breakfast. This is in the main pub across the car park. It was very good quality with pleanty of choice. If it were not for that, the £80 a night would be laughable.

I had been told about this cracking little place but we never expected it to be so good. The staff were friendly and the real ales were perfect. Oak beams and real fires made a cosy relaxed atmosphere. The food is where we had a real treat, we shared the feathers homemade charcuterie board and it was amazing. We then each had venison, Beef pudding and turbot, superb! the creme brulee is not to be missed.
I did not realise food in the North East could be so good and we know now where we will be going. A very good night was had by all and the place was packed so we are not the only ones to think so.

We stayed here for 2 nights in May 2009. Perfect location for our family gathering in Ware. Cost £80 per night for a very basic room. A bit grubby with some disconcerting stains on the wall. Functional bathroom with a noisy electric shower. Comfortable bed. Old TV with terrestrial channels only. Needs a lick of paint in places.

Nice pub attached but a shame that it closed at normal pub times so there were no facilities available for guests after 11pm.

Nice breakfast room and reasonable choice of food. Shame the chef wasn't capable of cooking an egg. Serving staff pleasant and helpful.

Reasonable hotel (if they knocked 20 quid off the nightly rate).
