“I am a firm believer that if you receive exceptional service then that should be praised to the highest level”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Last night I had arranged (at short notice) a surprise 40th Birthday for my wife (30 guests). I first met up with the general manager (Richard) on Wednesday 11th January. Immediately, I was impressed with his "can do attitude", his professionalism, his knowledge and politeness. His staff, from reception to bar staff where also courteous, helpful and extremely pleasant - and this was just whilst I was awaiting an appointment with Richard.

Richard helped me plan a menu and the itinery for the evening, even down to special dietary requirements for one of the guests.

Then came the evening itself. What can I say ?!!! Richard, his team of staff where nothing short of exceptional. The food the chef provided was first class - full of flavours and very inventive. (one small complaint - I never got to thank the chef personally - he deserved a BIG well done). The staff were attentive without being overley fussy, provided a first class service and every single guest commented on how lovely the evening was, how wonderful the staff were and how great the food was.

Myself, my wife and children will certainly be going back to sample more of the same.

Huge congratulations and well done - thank you very much for a fantastic evening.

Many Thanks


Paul & Cath

“Old, dated and music blaring till 1am!! Avoid!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Booked a family room to attend a friend's party and though most of the hotel had been refurbished the room we were given was not. 1980's decor with shabby carpet, Walls etc but would pass for one night. However when we returned to the hotel in the evening it seems our room was right above the dj from a wedding event. Despite going to reception to complain we were informed that the music would be on till 1am - so we just had to put up with it!! Try telling your small children this when they are crying and wanting to go to sleep! Who would place family rooms right above the main disco room? The next day we tried to speak to a manager but no-one was available. The customer service we received was appalling and unless you are attending an event at the hotel and don't mind noise from drunken guests till 3am I would avoid this hotel at all costs! We stay in hotels regularly and this was honestly the worst we have encountered!! I am still awaiting a response from the hotel manager yet we stayed over 2 months ago!

“Sunday Lunch”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

Visited here recently for 3 course sunday lunch, it was awful. Been here previous 12 months ago, it has now been refurbished, decor lovely but thats about it. Starter is a help yourself salad with a few bits of meat etc, main i ordered roast beef along with my father, he got what we were told was his and the rest of the table got theirs. After i asked were mine was the manageress came flying over shouting thats for 2!! (refering to the beef my father had been given) i then had to share his!!! The food was cold and my sons chicken was raw bloody by the bone, the abrupt manageress wasnt really bothered about any of us and her staff were a bit clueless, i could go on and on. Next time we will stick to the Toby carvery.

“Big changes”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I have stayed at this hotel for many years and this time I have noticed big changes. Refitted dining room and better food. The staff are all very friendly and the hotel and food is reasonably priced and ideally situated for visiting my relatives in the area

Room Tip: I have always stayed in the same room as it allows me continuity and feeling of 'homeliness'...
