Christopher P. Business - 4/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely staff, lovely meal in restaurant and breakfast the next day. However room was very cold on arrival. Also very tired. Air conditioning did not work, only two plug in heaters in room, which did warm the room eventually. Bathroom had no heating, not even a radiator & was stark! Shower was either cold or blisteringly hot! Bath over shower is never good with my feet! Far to small floor of bath to stand comfortably in! Why no shower cubicle! For a 4 * hotel i consider the room very poor.

Graeme H. Couples - 4/14/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

As usual, a good stay, the courtyard bedrooms are very spacious, clean and nice and the hotel has a very large car park. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Dinner was very average, which was a bit disappointing and is reflected in the score.

All very good

We were a group attending a family wedding. Hotel was lovely. Great size rooms, good selection of food and the staff were amazing. So helpful. Would definitely go back again.

The room hadn’t been hooved as there were items from previous occupants on the floor. The shower gel dispenser wasn’t working properly and the gym was dirty and hadn’t been cleared of rubbish.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. The cleanliness of our rooms and facilities is extremely important to us, and it is disappointing to learn that your room had not been properly vacuumed and that items were left behind. We also regret the inconvenience caused by the faulty shower gel dispenser and the condition of the gym area. This is certainly not the standard we strive to maintain. Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so that these matters can be addressed immediately and do not happen again. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much improved experience. Kind Regards Admiral Abbey
