Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great hotel for the money paid. Plenty of parking. Beautifully clean rooms with comfy bed and bedding. All the staff were extremely polite, friendly and efficient. Had a nice swim and sauna at the small health club where the young man on reception was professional and welcoming. Nice buffet breakfast in the morning. Hope Holiday Inn appreciate what a great job their staff are doing here.

This was a great base for me while away for work. Very welcoming reception area, who took time to explain various things. Room was clean and everything worked Nice big selection for breakfast with various non dairy milks on offer. Leisure facilities all in working order as well Only downside, no USB charge points so remember to bring your charger plugs

Check in was fine and the staff friendly and helpful. We had one of the premium rooms on the top floor, which was large clean and functional, but it really needed to be redecorated and the sealant redone in the bathroom to bring it up to a good standard. Same goes for the whole hotel really, it needs some TLC. Parking was free with plenty of spaces just remember to register your car at reception on arrival.

Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room. Convenient location. As Holiday Inns go, this is a good 'un. NB we didn't partake of breakfast or dinner, just RO. The hotel is dog-friendly and they don't confine you to a lesser room if you come with a dog, so that's nice!

Stayed for a couple of nights, we were able to take our dog as its a dog friendly hotel. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was spotless. The bar area was welcoming. Because we had the dog we were able to sit in the bar to eat, which was great. There was a great selection at breakfast, fruit, yogurts, pastries, cereal and full English. We ate in the bar area at night and the food was good. A little expensive for food and drink but it is a hotel, so was expected. We had a great weekend and we're able to chill out, I was apprehensive of taking the dog but it was perfect. We did think that it would have been handy if the rooms had a door from the room onto the grassed area at the rear of the room, only because we had to walk the dog down the long corridor to do her business and were concerned she may disgrace us on the way, she didn't. All in all a great, chilled break.

Recently my husband, daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 1 night. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who efficiently dealt with our check in. They also booked us into the restaurant for that night. The room was clean and well equipped and the sofa bed was made up for our daughter as requested. The shower was great the next morning and a lovely start to our busy day. Quick check out process allowed us to leave bright and early. We also enjoyed room service due to an early start! Would definitely stay again if the need arose.

The hotel itself and reception staff were good but the restaurant, give it a miss! On a Friday evening, when the hotel was reasonably full, the restaurant was almost empty. Tucked away in a dark corner - the only table large enough for 5 (?) - we felt ignored. After reviewing the menu I was looking forward to the rump steak. But not to happen - the kitchen had no steak. Even at what could be be considered an expensive cost! Then I was disappointed at the burger I chose as an alternate. Maybe it was the request fr no cheese that caused it to be over dry and not very tasty . The pizza ordered by one of our party was inedible. Tomato pastes on a soggy bread base. No seasoning. Awful. The fries were good though! Not the quality I would normally expect from Holiday Inn. Luckily, there are plenty of reasonable restaurants a short drive across the A12.
