We stayed here for my best friends wedding. This went off with only some small hitches, really well organised. The food in the hotel was really first class, although if you want breakfast get there early as when it's gone and if there are lots staying you may have to wait for them to wash up some clean cups for...

Some people may prefer the stark anonymity of the average Travelodge, but as a single traveller on business, I much prefer somewhere like the Bowburn Hall. A bit 'tired', expect some threadbare carpets, creaky floors in the public areas. In the rooms a bit of peeling wallpaper and noisy bathroom fans, but clean and comfortable with most mod cons.
