The location on the canal and picturesque countryside made a beautiful setting for dining in the conservatory. The food was consistently very good, the staff friendly and I enjoyed using the pool.

Staff are fab but hotel looking dated in all areas. Things such as hot tub with no bubbles etc. Prices of drinks in the bar are ridiculous even by hotel standards, over £7.50 for a lager.

The hotels furnishings and amenities were the same 25 years ago. Very worn and tired. Service in the restaurant slow. Cost to stay did not reflect the service and quality received. Lovely location, poor quality.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly but the hotel is very dated. I am sure in the 1970's it would have been amazing and the price of the room is over inflated for the quality of the accomodation.

Booked an executive "suite" .... room was uttetly souless, very limited facilities, nothing you would expect at the price level paid, not even bottled water. Grubby carpet, cheap plastic furniture, small buzzing empty fridge. View was the side of a coach on one side and a busy main road at the front. Had been away for 3 nights in Yorkshire staying at hotels in standard rooms that were a hundred times nicer and a third less expensive So uninspiring decided to just leave and drive home. Im sure if the room was overlooking the canal and better furnished, the hotel may be ok. Guess couldve complained but no one on reception and tbh couldnt be bothered. Ultimately beware the pictures on the expedia site compared to what you get!

Great hotel staff - it made our stay!

Staff were great and so helpful. We arrived in the early hours but the staff had checked us in and the night porter was there to meet us. Superb service and greatly appreciated. While the hotel is a little dated it was clean and the breakfast was excellent.

Yorkshire Break

We had wonderful break after not going anywhere at all for 10 months. Hotel lovely and so accommodating. Asked for room near lift and they placed us so well close to lift and restaurant as I have mobility issues at the moment. Would highly recommend as wonderful views of scenery.
