I booked this hotel via booking.com, because it had gym and pool facilities. It's name "country house" conjures images of a nice period hotel. It's couldn't be further from the truth. From the rude abrupt colleague on reception, to the borstal like room and nightclub beer on carpet smell of the foyer this place is appalling. It's not fit for... More

First of all must say hotel looks good and nice entrance.one night stay for the price was reasonable. But considering it states that you are going to get things in your room and then don't is pretty disgusting!!! It stated we would have a bath,hairdryer,trouser press and choice of heating options. Our room contained none of these. Went to reception... More

The food is second to none, its really nice however its a very transient hotel with it being an airport drop off/pick up hotel. We were situated above the main door so probably experienced more noise than normal. However we were also very cold and were told that it was summer (early May) and the heating had been turned off,... More

Cannot deny the excellent value for money on this deal. However, do not expect a modern hotel, it is a little tired in decor but on the whole ok. Being upgraded to an executive room made a good difference for us both. Bar Staff and Reception staff were friendly, efficient and responsive. The restaurant was ok but be early for... More

You cannot phone the hotel to book directly and have to book via the Britannia website (and pay -which is annoying). We wanted a triple room near the airport to drop someone off for a very early flight. We were told it was cheaper to do the deal of B,B and dinner (plus a bottle of wine) than to book... More

I am sorry that you were unhappy with your recent stay and the room that you were allocated. Our standard rooms are smaller than our executive rooms. It is possible to upgrade to an executive room at reception. I do wish that you had spoken to our Reception staff or Duty Manager who could have arranged for a room move... More
