Breakfast was very good with the added bonus of fulfilling my request for a special morning birthday treat for my wife. She loved the fruit plate with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate.

Ted United States of America

This is a really nice hotel, very clean and friendly, great food, fabulous breakfast, well staffed, excellent rooms, easy to find, easy to park, great location, a truly excellent hotel in every respect.

Dave United Kingdom

Food was great with good prompt service and the staff were very pleasant.

Damien United Kingdom

We booked this as we had just had two nights in the Alton Towers Hotel but wanted somewhere nice to eat. This hotel had an a la carte menu, but we were notified before our stay that this menu wouldn't be available. We decide to keep or reservation as their other menus still looked nice. So pleased we did. There were a small amount of specials available of which my boyfriend choose the duck ravioli as a starter and compliments were sent to the chef. All the food was delicious and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Will definitely be booking again. Hopefully the a LA carte menu will be available if not there are plenty of other dishes we would like to try.

Claire United Kingdom

the staff were really helpful and friendly. Special fuss was made of our dog, Sully. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Karen United Kingdom

Stayed here loads of times, always good food, beer and rooms. Worth getting one of the bigger ones upstairs.
