This was a hotel I used to go to about 20 years ago as a teenager for Sunday lunch so half the reason for staying now was nostalgic. It's fair to say it hasn't been touched much since then but if you can cope without haute cuisine and luxury rooms then this could be the place to go with prices... More

I have just spent four days at the Old Park Hotel with my partner and two children, aged 9 and 4. We were greeted by John the owner, who was very friendly, and a little eccentric which added to the charm of the place. If you're looking for a plush hotel, then this isnt it, but if you want friendly... More

The Old Park is not high luxury but I can hhonestly say that you do get a rest. It really is chhild friendly, not like places that just because they have a high chair claim to be so but 'tut and moan' and make you feel a nuisance with a child. The environment is not precious, the staff don't fuss... More

A childrens hotel. Parents tolerated and provided with good food and wine to keep them happy. We are the grandparents of Meersy77 and had a great time. It was much more like a house party with kids everywhere. The food I had was really good as was the wine, but some of the other choices were not quite as good... More

We visited for 3 nights in half term week. We had a family suite in the East Wing with our children, 4 and 2, with the grandparents in a room in the West Wing. The room was well equipped and perfectly acceptable. The soundproofing was not brilliant - the first night we were disturbed by a family above us arguing... More

We booked this cottage for a week in the summer thinking it sounded lovely : " a romantic cottage" with the benefit of the hotel facilities. Wrong! The cottage was spartan, to say the least, and there were no personal touches at all- not even a few tea bags and milk for a cuppa on arrival. It was furnished with... More

We visited this hotel for four nights in Sept. 2011 (during term time) with our two 2 year old daughters. Our suite in the old part of the hotel was great - there was plenty of space and we had a lovely wooden four poster bed which was very comfortable. This hotel is totally set up for families with young... More

Perfect for our 2 and 3 year old - they were in heaven with the grounds to roam and climbing frames to climb after breakfast. Swimming pool, listening service so adults could go to the bar in the evening, perfect! More

We arrived to find that the hotel is in a bad state of repair. Things have been started and not finished. Things were not working well, toilets, showers etc, (all bathrooms are carpeted!!), the gardens were unkept, beds were old and tired, and there did not seem to be any organisation at all. It was said that the entertainment was... More
