This is a very ordinary and moderate business hotel. We had booked a double non-smoking and received a twin smoking. In fact the whole hotel seemed to be totally impregnated with smoke during our stay. The breakfast was very poor; pre-cooked and unappetising. The waiting staff seemed to be asleep and seemed reluctant to clean all the mess from the previous people who had used our table until asked quite firmly to do so. The other staff seemed to be rules based as, when we left there was an early arriving guest who was refused his room until 2pm as "that is what the Manager insists on" despite the fact that there are 90 odd rooms and he obviously needed a place to change for an appointment. Unsurprisingly, the plants all seemed to be made of plastic!

We stayed there for just one night as we were attending a wedding at Newick Park which was extremely expensive to overnight at.

It proved to be a revelation as far as our room was of generous proportions and it had obviously just been refurbished with a new bathroom and decor throughout.

Breakfast on the Sunday morning was just what the doctor ordered and throughout our stay all the members of staff were extremely helpful, professional and polite.

We would not hesitate to stay there again if we found ourselves in this neck of the woods.
