We booked to stay here for two night to go to the races. This is a great hotel. As previous reviews say, yes it needs some updating but the old fashioned decor adds to its charm. The only bit of updating really is the windows. The staff were extremely helpful all weekend, booking a taxi for us and very informative.... More

We stayed for two nights, with my son who is a regular business guest. A hotel with character. Yes, it's old and yes it needs some refurbishment, but what the heck - it's comfortable. Every staff member we met was friendly and welcoming and had a knowledge of the hotel's history, especially the restaurant manager, Phillip. It was great to... More

This was our first stay at this hotel, from the website it gives the impression of a traditional setting with modern rooms etc. Upon arrival it felt like we had stepped back in time and not in a particularly good way. As we went to check-in there was 6 members of staff gathered behind the small reception desk just having... More

First impressions are very important and it seems we got off to a bad start and continued to disappoint with the exception of our lovely food in The Bistro. Thank you for that positive and for sparing the time to discuss your review with me today and for saying that you would consider staying with us again. More

IWe just loved the atmosphere of this place the minute we saw it. In spite of wallpaper peeling off the wall we really liked the old fashioned feel.

Stayed for one night, won't rush back sadly. Dated, tired, expensive bar. Sunday lunch was like school dinners in gods waiting room. Struggling to find 200 words. Only redeeming feature is the location overlooking the spa gardens

We stayed over along with several family members for a birthday weekend. The hotel is clean and the staff are very friendly.

Stayed 20th April to attend function. Check in fine, and superior room lovely. Huge 4 poster and very comfy. Large bathroom with huge bath, endless hot water.

We stayed in a superior room for one night. The staff were lovely all very helpful and happy. Our room was huge, it was shabby in parts but I think that added to the charm. We found the rooms too hot so slept with the windows open. The breakfast was good. Great overnight hotel
