found the new owners wife to be very arrogant,obnoxious and down right bad tempered,she acctually threatening a customer with violence,when she was stood up to,her husband had to shove her into the bar sellar to stop her,very good impression to make as new owners to the area

Was put off by reading the reviews on this website, but all in all our 4 nights stay was ok, we really did enjoy our stay, the staff was very friendly, the food was Ok, the room was fine, Good value for money, don't be put off.

Craig, Sheffield.

stayed with a coach party17th october 2011, the hotel was grubby, the room was cold all through our stay. There were gaps in the window & no locks either. The shower was brand new but there was no water it was not plumbed in.
The only word for the food ... disgusting.. they couldn't even boil an egg, it was raw when it arrived at the table but the next one that arrived was okay.
During our stay there were lots of guest not well whether that was down to the hotel I don't really know, but one thing is for sure we will not be back.

I went to the National Hotel with a coach party, the hotel looked dated, I was shown to my room on the ground floor, the room was tiny, the bed covers didnt look clean, in fact the next day I bought a king size sheet from M&S and each night wrapped myself into it, the food on the first night was inedible, my room had no mirror, the driver got me one next day, the towels were no bigger than hand towels,they were rough, and scratchy, the waiting staff were excellent,could'nt do enough for you .. also there were no problems with the bar staff, never again...........................
