    I have booked various hotels and Airbnbs and have never been asked for my driving license to be photo copied, this is breaching gdpr regulations as booking.com have your details already when registering. The man on reception did not like that I knew this and stated that every hotel and Airbnb should do this, when I corrected him he got really defensive.

    The property looked like it was being updated

    Loud dance music in restaurant constantly blasting out. No bar area for drinkers. Would not provide a Vat receipt. They said booking. Com will provide this. Booking. Com says Hotel must provide it. Not going back!

    The fact there is no breakfast facilities had to go elsewhere to get a breakfast so had to get up early so we could get there would be a lot better with these facilities so unfortunately until then we won’t be back

    It was clean and comfortable for our needs

    Stayed here a few years ago and it was excellent, however not so pleasurable return. Room was ok but cleanliness not so great, no kettle on room on arrival asked for one which was got straight away however, water still on it and timescale all over it and plug was covered in yuck so had to clean it off. Restaurant staff were ok however the speed of the 3 course meal we had I felt like I was on a eating quest. No sooner was knife and fork down and the next course arrived. Fillet steak was ok but only came with chips, everything else was extra, dessert wasn't great. I'm sad to say I won't be returning which shame as good location. Sorry guys must try harder.

    Location, on a positive bed was comfy

    Room overlooked car park. No privacy as car parked right next to bedroom window. No net curtains or blinds which was a big privacy/security issue. Had to keep curtains drawn during day for this reason. General public can walk in and out freely and gain access to hotel as front door open at night with no security present only cctv signage.

    Location. Hotel easy to find. Plenty of parking onsite

    The room we had was a “wedding suite” it was old and tired. The decorations were old fashioned and in need of modernisation. I think most newly married couples would have been unhappy with the accommodation.

    The location suited our needs. The restaurant was popular so we tried it and found the food was good and the staff were pleasant.

    stayed in room 3, the cleanliness was poor, Hotel had no wifi, portable TV in the room had very little channel reception which i couldnt watch. And no breakfast was available for guests for the morning. loud music in restaurant when eating was annoying after a long days work

    Parking in the hotel was plentiful, my evening meal was good, staff were quick around food and drink delivery, good choices on the menu and a well stocked bar.

    we understood at time of booking that breakfast was included but a notice on reception stated that due to Covid they would not be serving breakfast. There was also large rats nest outside our room window adjacent to the pond. We ran out of toilet roll and as no staff were available I looked in the store cupboard and eventually found a pack under a heap of dirty linen on the floor.

    convenience of location to suit our need
