Pleasant grounds and surroundings Room was mouldy, had to change. Toilet did not flush properly. Generally grubby and vastly over priced. There is a Travelodge across the road, take my advice and stay there.

All the staff were very polite, helpful and friendly, and they looked smart. This was the main thing. The breakfast was good, as was the bar meal. There was plenty of very hot water, and the hotel was warm. The grounds are beautiful, with ample parking. The room was well proportioned and bed a good size, but oh so in need of updating and refurbishing. Bathroom smelled damp, and also in need of some tlc. In the bathroom of my friend the shower had been attached to the wall facing the shower curtain, so that when turned on water sprayed the bathroom! There was a hole in the trap door in the ceiling above the bath. The bedside clock radio was grubby and did not work. In the bar a lampshade was broken and chairs grubby. Could not help but notice how dusty the dividing unit was in the dining area. It would make so much difference if a little money was spent to do it up.

Someone who is coming to UK first time, will find typical British atmosphere lovely. The whole place has to be renewed in most of the spots. The FIREPLACE was not allowed to be used by management by different/controversial reasons. Shame, since that masterpiece, dated back to medieval time, has to have fire within it every day !!

Straight prices, much better than a travel lodge. minor complaints taken seriously. rooms not affected when a large function was on The resturant menu was limited and not very stimulation but this was just after Christmas. The bar has only limited drinks and does not have any proper beer.

We actually stayed in Lower Dicker and not the other location in the e-mail. The staff were all very helpful and kind. The bar food was very good and appealed to us more than the main menu. We were pleased to be able to take our dog along with us. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would stay there again.

The hotel offered all we needed for an overnight stay. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. All in all I would say we had value for money. I feel that for a longer stay I would have preferred a more modern looking room as this one was very dated and rather in need of redecoration. I

Breakfast was great. All the staff were fantastic and really helpful.Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Lovely surroundings! While the room was really comfortable and clean, as on our last visit, it was let down by the bathroom which had mould in the bath/shower. While breakfast was great, dinner was mediocre and may explain the absence of diners of an evening.[..But the service was without fault!] It would really make an enormous difference if WIFI was provided in the bedrooms.Having to go into public areas to use a computer is very inconvenient and does not alllow one to really relax or conduct business with any privacy.I am sure the hotel would have a much higher occupancy rate if this was seen to. Also more television channel choice is needed.Without these details, it really makes what could be a great place to stay rather outdated and behind the times.

The hotel was lovely, beautiful setting, the original parts of the building had a lot of history. Staff were great, food was lovely. The decor was a little tired and the walls of the restaurant had food stains and splatters. Our bathroom needed updating, broken toilet and tiles.

Friendly staff with prompt service There were plumbing problems in booked room so had to be moved but staff dealt with it very promptly and efficiently. However the second room had a small leak under the sink particularly when the tap was on.Bed in this room sagged into the middle which made it uncomfortable. Otherwise it was a very pleasant stay

Not all of the staff were rude, the front desk were fine but the staff at breakfast were rude. The room was very noisy/creaky and old fashioned. & There were flys in the Apple Juice at breakfast and the fruit was off.

Friendly staff, particularly the receptionist who was most helpful in arranging a refund for our last night as we needed to leave early. Good breakfast. I am not fussy but everything about this place is very old & tired. Damp problems - mouldy smell in corridors & rooms. £70 per night is far too much for this standard of accommodation. Stayed in much better places for half the cost. Would be useful if breakfast was served from 7.00am - lots of contractors waiting for breakfasts & needing to get to site!

It was very conveniently situated for our needs. We stayed in this hotel previously (about 1 year ago) and since then it does appear to have deteriorated slightly. In particular, the bedroom we had needed some decoration and I thought the breakfast was not as generous.

We loved the location, as it was handing to the wedding venue that we attended and the first impression, as we drove into the car park was that the building and grounds were beautiful When booking I notified that I was a Coeliac, and they confirmed that they could cater for me, but at breakfast, gluten free bread was not available, the sausages and bacon were in the same dish as were the hash brown and fried bread, each served with the same utensils, therefore, causing contamination, which could have had devastating effects for me and other Coeliacs. The toilet in the bathroom had come away from its fixings (so you had to do a balancing act) and a there was a very strong, stale stench also in the bathroom. The hotel overall, seemed tired and could do with a face lift, but the bed was comfortable and clean and all but one of the staff were very polite and helpful
