I have just returned from a five day break, staying at this hotel. The hotel is extremely clean with excellent staff. I was very disappointed to hear, from the staff memebers that it is closing in two weeks. I visited with a friend on a package tour holiday but would loved to go back again but unfortunately I will not... More

As you can see from other reviews this is essentially a conference training college, this is not a nice cozy hotel but depending on what you want provides an adequate place to stop the night, the plus points were the help yourself evening meal which was good value, the home made soup is a must although do go early as...

Summergrove reminded me of my great aunt Mildred- clean, simple, humble but not much to look at. This place is or was a Police Training facility that is also used as a hotel and I was told owned by the local nuclear power plant in which most of the residents of this area work. This entire place has an institutional... More

We stayed at the Summer Grove on Friday 28th and Saturday 29th October, on a coach trip with Travelstyle. The rooms are very clean and adequate, warm and cosy. Food very good, plenty of choice. Staff very friendly and professional. We had a great time and would definitely recommend. If I had to say anything negative it would be that... More

Haing read some reviews on here I was unsure what to expect! From the outside the hotel does look a bit featureless but the inside was clean and pleasant. The room itself was clean and adequately furnished. The only gripe I had was the window which could only be fixed open at a ventilation position (presumably for safety) but I... More

We stayed here in the first week of august this year (2011) and i have to say we had a great time. The hotel, whilst not the most of inspiring places to look at was nice and the bedroom we had- a twin was great- the décor was fresh, it wasn't to hot or to cold and it was very,... More

Two of us travelled with a coach trip to see the Lake District. The hotel was ideal for us as we were out on trips each day. Rooms are adequate and clean without being fussy. Food was plentiful and well presented. Staff were helpful in the main. Entertainment on 2 of the nights we were there was ok. A bit... More

The Summergrove in my opinion is not a hotel. On arrival it appears like a prison block surrounded by high walls. It was, evidently, a Training & Conference Centre, and still operates as one now. The inside of the building is totally confusing and it was not uncommon to find guests struggling to find their way back to their rooms... More
