Stayed here twice now, decent hotel for the price. Staff were very helpful and polite. 5 out of 5 for them. Room was tidy but I would say the bed was not the most comfortable on this occasion. However overall, happy for the price paid.

8.6/10 Excellent! (1,006 reviews)
Nice hotel although it was very with weddings which gave it a "train station" feel rather than a relaxing country house. Likewise the "fine dining" room lacked tablecloths which made it a little "cafeteria-like". But most of all - the bedroom was ridiculousy hot, even tho' it was cool/cold outside (17c): the bedroom windows were locked so that they open only 6 inches (supposedly for safety reasons - although there was zero chance of falling out). The hotel declined to open the windows and offered only 2 air fans which were of no use. The room temperature as 33c. This very much spoiled our stay: avoid rooms directly over the (very hot) spa facility !

Dans l’ensemble, tout était parfait et nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Le seul petit bémol concerne l’arrivée avant 15 h : même si la chambre est déjà prête, des frais de 25 £ sont demandés pour pouvoir en prendre possession plus tôt. C’est un détail que nous avons trouvé vraiment décevant.

8.4/10 Very good! (12 reviews)
Upon arrival the room was relatively clean and straightened out nicely. Decorated to an OK standard. However, the room itself was absolutely sweltering and could've done with a fan or a portable air conditioning unit. I had to open both the windows wide to let some cool air in.....which unfortunately let the screaming and shouting from outside in too. But hey, I've booked something in the heart of student land so that's sort of on me as well! As far as cleanliness goes....look a little closer you'll see things aren't so great and definitely lacks attention to detail in that are. Not the worst but certainly not the best. It looks like shower gel, handwash and shampoo were provided once upon a time but now all that remain are empty containers. This is such a basic thing so either do it or don't. Kitchenette area was reasonably clean with utensils, plates bowls and a dishwasher provided. Overall, it was OK but could do better. It seems like somebody has lost interest in it!

Super clean room, I received an unexpected upgrade and it really was superb. Kitchen very well fitted out with everything you might need. The location is excellent and the property manager amazing. Quick with replies and I didn’t feel like anything was too much trouble. The bed was so comfy and the pillows are the best I have ever slept on! The cleanliness throughout the property was fabulous. All in all a perfect 10/10 stay. Thank you
