We are just back from our second break at this hotel and rate it every bit as highly as our first visit. We paid £139 each for 4 nights D, B & B and call that excellent value. Once again we couldn't fault the meals and enjoyed every one - pleased to find that jovial Tony was still the Head... more

We have just returned from this hotel after a short break for my brothers' 50th birthday. Not allowing some equally split reviews to influence our opinions, we have left feeling nothing but praise for the place and wishing we could have stayed longer. Yes the place has the carpets people described and God knows only the picky would say the... more

A group of us went to check out the hotel in advance of an organised walking weekend for approx. 135 people. This is huge old fashioned building that is going through a steady renovation programme. Earlier comments about first impressions with carpets etc no longer apply as communal areas have been refitted and look very smart. Bedrooms are a decent... more

As I crest the long driveway into the car park the hotel looms into view. I'm immediately hit by a vision of what Airie Neave must have thought upon arriving at Colditz (*gulp*). The balconies replaced by iron grilles. The grey facade and faded glory. Only later do I learn (to my amusement) that this was a training base for... more

We have stayed at this hotel 3 times and enjoyed it every time, this time we stayed for 2 nights 24/7/09 ,the carpets in reception could really do with renewing , a coat of paint would not go a miss ,but apart from that the room we had was very clean and pleasent. The food was very good and plenty... more
