Impressive building with a feeling of class and sophistication. Staff friendly and helpful. Gym is good for a hotel facility. We picked a garden view room which was worth it as the view was fantastic to wake up to. Nice bar and (depending on which time of year you go) ‘Thors tipi’ located in the grounds, gave a lovely Xmas vibe. Came a few years ago and the hotel has benefited massively from the refurb. Right next to the train station. Parking onsite

Just returned from a two night stay best described as ok. The hotel looks impressive and public areas are smart. The room however was small and 'tired'. It was also quite noisy. The location is reasonable being right next to the railway station about half a mile from the centre. Parking was a bonus but expensive. The real let down was breakfast. It is buffet style and on both mornings hot food was almost cold and several items missing. Not great for around £20 a head. Overall, ok but certainly not great and at £160 per night, not cheap T

I stayed here with my 10 yr old daughter and picked this hotel for it's closeness to the station and because it had a swimming pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful and although our room was small it met our needs and it was clean and tidy Would definitely stay here again
