Food - excellant Hot water Television Bed comfortable

Grubby nets in room windows One light not working Parking difficult - would be helpful to state there are only 12 spaces Dirty saucers in bedroom Mistake at reception resulted in overcharge by £660 - but corrected by you subsequently Disappointed no log fire in lounge as this was the impression created Stacking of chairs at bottom of stairs was arguably a health and safety issue

Overall: Shabby look It was value for money at the price we paid of £85  (108596797)

4.4 / 5 4.4 / 5 Denise [Woodbury, GB] on 20/10/2009 (Solo leisure traveller)

Staff very friendly. Good location. Good food. Comfortable room.

Barely had 4 channels on the tv. Limited parking.

Overall: I enjoyed my stay. Although there were some bad points, they didn't really bother me.  (108977129)

Breakfast staff very good, breakfast and room service food good Clean

Very limited car parking. We do not book hotels without parking facilities, should be advertised as 'limited'. Had to drive round finding a spot then pay, then go out first thing to re do ticket. Had to walk past smoking area to enter hotel from our room, cigarette butts on floor. Bath tap/shower worked simultaneously, mixer broken

Overall: Advised Sunday breakfast was 7.30 - 9.30 but it actually went to 10.00. Needn't have rushed. Not a bad stay, soft furnishings worn but clean. Would stay again if no better alternative  (108615035)

The staff was generally kind and helpful, and some went out of their way to be cheerful and accommodating. The hotel is in a good location and is kept up well for the most part.

The showerhead in my bathroom would not stay in place, so I had to hold it up when showering. The wireless signal was not strong enough to reach my room on the top floor - a wi-fi repeater should work wonders. Room for 10 vehicles is hardly "ample parking."

Overall: I would probably stay here again were I in the area. However I'll be prepared to pay for parking...  (108987096)

4.6 / 5 4.6 / 5 Terence [Isle of Wight, GB] on 06/10/2009 (Mature couple)

The service provided by all the staff we came into contact with was excellent, they were polite and eager to help.

carparking seems to be an issue

Overall: In general we had a good stay and would come back.  (108767636)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
