Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were very nice and clean, although a bit small. The service was friendly and courteous, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The location was perfect for my needs, with convenient access to nearby attractions. The dining was good, despite a few minor issues. Overall, a great value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of ups and downs. The room I stayed in was probably the worst I've ever slept in, with the first one being nothing like advertised and the second one having a leak coming through the roof. However, the service was fantastic, and the staff were exceptionally professional and courteous. The location was lovely, very quiet and rural yet only minutes from the M62. The dining experience was okay but had some room for improvement. Overall, a stay with highs and lows.
The hotel is a great place to stay with friendly and helpful staff, though the food is good but expensive and the showers need maintenance. The rooms could have done with a lick of paint, but they come with free Wi-Fi and offer a cracking curry for an evening meal. The reception is very smart, despite some noise from drunk guests till late.
