Hotel was very tired, damp spots in corridors and peeling or damaged paint everywhere. Walls very thin so could hear our neighbours snoring and engaging in intimate moments. Wine was expensive and very poor probably worth £4 but priced at £28. Very disappointing.

Lovely countryside location yet convenient for road networks. Warm and cosy room, spotlessly clean, large TV, modern bathroom, new bed and comfy pillows. Indoor pool, sauna and gym a bonus. All at a very reasonable price

Very disappointing stay. Bar area very untidy, tables all still had plates and empty glasses on them late into the evening. Tables therefore not clean Breakfast self service, not great and paper cups for tea and coffee. For a Hilton Hotel really not good

Dear DeniseThank you for your review and apologies that we did not live up to our usually high standards. The bar area is extremely small and is being used as a dining area for this busy summer period. We offer paper cups as a takeaway option at breakfast but do have plenty of ceramic cups - please ask our team members for support if they are not immediately available.Do let us now if you are ever returning so that we can make sure we look after you.With best wishesRichardGeneral Manager

Better than the reviews suggested !
I read the reviews which highlighted some areas of concern but I booked because Richard the manager had taken the time to respond honestly. It was a good stay. The indoor pool was warm, the outdoor pool had seating, restaurant food was good. Yes, the building needs the planned work but there was plenty of space and a chilled atmosphere. We will be going back.

This in turn will also help our owners and help to decide where we need to invest. We are delighted you improved your stay and our fabulous facilities and look forward to welcoming you back soon.With very best wishesRichardGeneral Manager

The hotel does look a bit tired and showing its age on the outside but inside the room we had was good. Pillows a bit too soft for us but that is a minor point. A bit noisy in the morning when the green keepers were tending the golf course which was right outside our window. A great location for local sights. The spa area is very small but OK if you go when kids are not allowed in. The outside areas are great for kids with lots of space to play and an outside pool if the weather permits. Overall a very good place and we will be back.

Disappointing
The hotel has huge potential but almost everything was disappointing for us. From the very slow service to the extremely worn and tired rooms to the pool that I’m not sure should be swum in. If it has a refurb it could be great.

Response from Richard on 13 Aug 2023
Dear NicoleThank you for your review. You are absolutely correct, the hotel has great potential and with our new owners they are already making a difference but there is lots more to do. My sincere apologies that your stay was disappointing but I can confirm that a refurbishment is being planned but will of course take time with such a large building with 140 bedrooms. Do let us know if you are ever looking to return so tat we can inform you of any changes that will help you enjoy your stay.With very best wishesRichardGeneral Manager

Really nice place to stay, very friendly staff excellent range of choices for the breakfast buffet, spacious lounge area for a quiet drink or just a chilling hour before going out to your chosen destination. It’s set in a quiet countryside setting but only a stone throw from the main A road. I would have no hesitation in staying there again

Great location, requires some tlc
The setting and buildings of the hotel are great. Unfortunately the main building is a bit run down and could do with some tlc, but with such a large building this will no doubt take a while. Staff were generally good and attentive. Thanks

Wouldn’t rush to return
Unfortunately I wouldn’t be in a hurry to come back We were in a room with a faulty window that didn’t open A toilet system that constantly trickled water so we were unable to sleep with the house Not only that but the prices are daylight robbery ….. £7 I was charged for 2 cups of tea …. Seriously there is no justification at all to charge those kind of prices …. I could make a hundred and more cups of tea with £7 buying tea bags etc from the supermarket it’s absolutely criminal The hotel itself could do with a little work and staff should be a little less abrupt and show more courtesy after all we are the paying guests

Nice hotel, a bit creeky and dated.
The hotel is dated and the floors are creeky but the room was nice. No issues and very comfy. Good size swimming pool and also had a sauna and steam rooms. The only downside was the breakfast servoce was very slow. Had to wait to be booked in, tables were not cleared, not enough 4 people takes, had to wait a couple of times for food to be bought out from kitchen and they seemed short staffed. Apart from that a nice hotel and a pleasant stay. No lift!
