“Small changes could make a big difference”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My husband and I spent 2 nights at the hotel at the end of January. The room and bed were unusually small but very clean. There was no wardrobe only hooks and hangers which meant leaving garments on display in the room and through the window. A simple stand or shelf for a suitcase would have made a big difference. Rummaging around, in a case, on the floor is not easy. A few hooks in the bathroom would have helped as well. The only place available to hang a hand towel was at the front of a shelf directly over the toilet seat.The carvery was disappointing. The vegetables were tepid and the yorkshire pudding was so hard that it fractured into shrapnel when penetrated. The breakfast buffet was much better.
It would be ok for a one night stay but you only get what you pay for.

Room Tip: The views at the back of the hotel are lovely.

“If you want to sleep on the floor, book this hotel!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 via mobile

Stayed there for one night in September 2011 and it was a horrible night. The room we booked was supposed to have a double bed, but it barely qualified as a queen bed, far too small. The room was too hot so we had to open the window. However there was a wedding there and everybody was outside (since you couldn't smoke inside) and very noisy. There was no phone in the room to call reception so had to go downstairs to the reception and ask them to talk to the bridal party. Didn't entirely help.
The room had no closet, no alarm clock, no glasses...
The mattress was put on a bed base with wheels so when you turned you felt the mattress and the whole bed moving. In order to get some sleep we removed the base and put the mattress directly on the floor...oh, and did i mention the price was 89.95 pounds??

“carvery meal not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We came for a £5 midweek carvery. the meat was delicious and the veg nicely cooked, but the roast potatoes were dreadful. the childrens meal was plentiful and cooked fine..We decided to come a second time, wondering if the potatoes might improve another time, but once again, they were horrible..they tasted old as if they had been re-heated which was a great shame as they managed to get the meat and veg right once again - but we cant have a roast without potatoes so won't be eating there again.
Furthermore, the waiting staff seemed to be rather vacant the second visit also. We asked for the bill, but they forgot to give it to us, instead leaving it on the bar for nearly 10 mins, but not because she was busy as she was just standing around. All in all, a not bad carvery and would be excellent if they managed to cook the roast potatoes.

Room Tip: We did not sleep in a room, just had carvery

“Xmas Lunch with Family”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Had Christmas lunch here a week ago with the in laws.Booked well in advance as assumed it would be busy ,it is carvery based with other options available and very popular with the older generation in this area..Just did the 2 course version , meat was superb and veg selection very good, only minus in my opinion were the roast potatoes which could have been a bit tastier,Sweet was excellent and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the dining area looks out across the river which is stunning , especially on a sunny day regardless of the temperature outside.the service was good and I probably would go again to see how it shapes up on a general day to day basis,as this time of the year is demanding for any eatery.
