    There were some noisy children, which were not controlled by the parents. At one point we felt that we were being pushed out of a room because “ we were in the way “. We both , love kids but they weren’t being watched at all . There was other residents that felt the same. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay. Lovely place.

    Really nice place in lovely surroundings, staff were very helpful and kind.

    Victoria in Reception went out of her way to ensure my stay went well. I had unfortunately lost my phone on the way to the hotel and she went out of her way to put me in touch with the person who found it. I can't thank her enough. She is such a kind and genuine person and it really made my stay very pleasurable, knowing that someone could be as kind as this and really cared! Thank you so very much Victoria!

    Thought the room decor was a bit tired. But that probably applied to the whole hotel. Its a big place and must take a lot of upkeep. Nevertheless that didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of our stay.

    Location. Staff. Food. Interesting history and background of the hotel.

    Nothing really. We had a smashing breakfast. I just didn't like the waste of food the mass catering generated but I understand why.

    We loved the actual building and location. It was warm comfortable our room was lovely. It isn't always how modern or flashy a place is. It's a heritage property and we were more than happy to stay there and plan to stay again. It was very good value for money, I slept comfortably and the shower was excellent . In my opinion if those two things are right then it's a win for me. I had that and everthing else. We were attending a dance event at The Grand and were impressed with the facilities .

    We loved the hotel but even though it was dog friendly there was only one room to go in. Not allowed in the bar and had to sit on our own for meals. We got charged extra too for our little dog and I had an email saying first there was no charge then another saying there was.

    We loved the hotel and our veg full breakfast was super

    Not wanting to be negative, hotel is tired But still magnificent, what spoiled it was the evening meal , that being said spoke to the manager and was compensated accordingly, breakfast was much better , room was comfortable and en suite was really good , would have appreciated the heads up there was a wedding on as it pretty much dominated the outside space and considering the heat we have at the moment , that being said bar staff was spot on in assuring we could sit outside anywhere

    We were not impressed with the food. It was an interesting mix of service and buffet self-service. Food kept hot dries out but food that is meant to be hot served on lukewarm plates tends to be cold before it can be eaten; conversely cold food should not should not be served on warm plates. Croissants and Yorkshire pudding were both tough (at different meals). On day 1 (breakfast) the only cold food apart from fruit was sliced ham and sliced cheese, on day 2 there was no such cold food at all.

    View as requested from our room was beautiful. This view was however soon to be obscured by the trees below our window. We enjoyed the woodland walk.
