Once this hotel was in a more prepossessing environment but the development of housing estates now surrounds the hotel. The immediate grounds are still quite pleasant and there is adequate car parking. I booked two rooms at relatively short notice and phone to request that they be located close together. This was done, although it was quite difficult to get... More

We attended a family anniversary at this hotel on 21st. April and made a weekend of it. Although in a strange location, it's in the middle of a housing estate, the surroundings and grounds were pleasant enough. The room was clean and comfortable and everything worked as it should. The bar and reception areas were both good places to meet... More

My husband and I booked this break to do some exploring in Constable Country. Having read through other reviews of this hotel, we were pleasantly surprised how nice the place was, and not nearly as tired looking as we'd been led to believe. It has to be said that the dining room is in need of a spruce up but... More

We booked midweek for 2 nights. Requested a garden view, but there was a big tree outside which blocked a lot of sunlight. The room was a good size and very clean. The TV was on its last legs though, with very poor sound. The spa and pool were amazing, and we found any excuse to go there. Breakfast was... More

We stayed here for the first night of our honeymoon. Had a beautiful suite overlooking the 'brook'. Room was very clean, extremely spacious and there was a wedding congratulations card in our room from the staff (nice touch). Extremely good value for the size and quality of the room. Will be going back there sometime soon for sure. :)
