We had a good stay at the hotel. The place is going through a refurb at the moment and after our first room didn’t quite meet expectations, the promptly moved us to the new part of the hotel that was lovely. The evening meal and breakfast were excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay in this area.
Lovely place to stay with a very nice breakfast to wake up to. The room was spacious and well equipped, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated road side on a junction but there was no evidence of this from our room. It was very quiet. If I had to criticise anything it would be the carpark. It was a little on the small size if like us you have a large estate car, but I think there may have been additional parking out back. All in all a great place to stay.

Poor Customer Service
I booked this stay for 2 gentlemen on business which included breakfast. When the gentlemen arrived for breakfast the lady told them that breakfast wasn't included and they would have to pay £32.00. At 8am the guys called me to clarify the situation, I spoke to the lady and advised her that on Hotels.com all rooms included breakfast which she said they didn't. I then sent screenshots of the Hotels.com website showing that all rooms included free breakfast, which she said wasn't true. I then sent one of the guys a screenshot from the confirmation showing it said free breakfast included, which he showed her and she reluctantly let them into the breakfast room, which by this time they were late for their appointment. Extremely poor customer service and very embarrassing for the 2 guys. I suggest that all members of staff understand what agreements you have in place with 3rd party booking companies.

Beautiful place but..
The hotel itself is a lovely building, the grounds are beautiful and well kept. Inside the restaurant the edges of carpet are filthy with dust and spiders webs. The hotel room itself was nice, however the bed was very firm. The bathroom was clean but the main head shower did not work and made an awful noise. The food was excellent, our evening meal and breakfast were both delicious. However restaurant service was not the best. Our main problem was the gentleman on reception we found him very rude. Even after he had charged us again when I was sure we had already paid. Thankfully I located the email as proof. He eventually gave a refund after insisting that I move room before issuing the refund. He was not apologetic and his customer service skills were definitely lacking. All in all glad we only stayed one night. Don’t think we would return.

Suggestion
We were there for the F1. I would suggest offering a F1 ‘package’ as by the time we were back we couldn’t eat - why not offer so prepared sandwiches or cheese and crackers as part of a ‘package’ rather than just saying ‘we stayed open as late as we could’
