An okay hotel with noisy air-conditioning

Hotel on the whole was nice but the air-conditioning unit was so noisy I had to shut it down. The staff all did their job, but there wasn’t a very welcoming feel and there appear to be an issue between the staff and managerin the restaurant.

Very nice place. Bit out of town, slightly too far to walk. Rooms are modern, old part of the Hotel is meeting rooms and bar area. Only issue was the Aircon, which set at low setting didn't really make any difference to the temp. Might have been bust I suppose. Shower fab though and breakfast was excellent.

It was close to the Easterbrook Hall and handy for attending a concert. The only issue with the facilities was the poor number of tv channels available.

Hotel was spotless and the rooms were warm. Brilliant setting and very quiet. I'm just glad we didn't book a table for dinner as people were waiting for ages and giving up and going else where. Would recommend the hotel.

Birthday getaway.

Birthday getaway. Plenty of free parking. Surtounded by nice historic buildings and park land. (Ex psychiatric hospital wards) but actual hotel is a new build. Food was fine and room was clean, warm and quiet. Dog friendly although we didn't have one.
