I know we have had a heat wave but room was so hot i barely slept. The windows barely open. The fan was just blowing warm air around. Also am not sure but felt they are now using hotel for single mums. Although not a problem as i was there once. But i feel people should be aware if this is the case. Didnt have a problem with this as was hardly there. I had clumps of hair over our carpet not mine i hasten to add. Was disappointed as have stayed here before a few years ago but has gone downhill

We had 2 rooms. One was OK, the other was appauling! No furniture, useless shower and not clean. Add on no food or drink facility worth giving a miss until they restore this once great hotel back to a standard expected.

Someone walked in my room whilst I was asleep when I shouted they walked out left the light on kids we’re running around the corridor all the time making loads of noise and when I checked out early they didn’t even care the staff

We got there and it was very welcoming and was upgraded, however the room that we was upgraded to was very dirty, and run down, I can’t imagine what the standard rooms are like. Stains on the bed and pubes in the shower. No shower gel even after we asked. The was soap but it was grime, it is also housing refugees. Which is fine however there was a lot.

Arrived to a beautiful setting. However, room 1 had dirty sheets (blood found on duvet). No towels. 1 worn pillow each. Room badly dated. Moved to a family room. Again, 1 pillow each. Hand towels only. 3rd floor, lift broken. Honestly a poor place to stay. Apart from a comfortable bed this place is awful!

The hotel is in poor condition. My room was 'tired' and the tv didnt work. Phone point broken, damage from previous visitors and black fragments in the cold tap water. Such a shame as it used to be lovely.

After many years of staying at this hotel, what the website fails to tell you and did not know until after we had booked there is no restaurant or bar anymore for reasons that became obvious on arrival. Very disappointing and will not be using again

Easy access to Town, pubs and restaurants. Convenient for visiting family and meeting up with friends.

2/10

Can honestly say this was one of the grimmest hotels? I’ve had the misfortune to stay in in a long time. Despite apparently being a four star hotel, what they don’t tell you is this hotel appears to be a migrant hotel which also allows paying guests. Both the restaurant and bar are permanently shut, everywhere you go all you hear is screaming children, rubbish thrown everywhere, facilities all closed and the externals haven’t been cleaned in a long time. Our room not only had a waterfall shower that didn’t work, but the makeshift showerhead that was fitted was both broken and didn’t allow the mixing of cold and hot and therefore it was either freezing or scolding and no in between. The toilet you had to flush six times to get it working. The room was so hot that we literally couldn’t sleep in it and ended up having to spend time sitting in our car outside with the air-conditioning on just a cool back down. When we got into the room, there was one towel between the two of us when we asked for another towel we got the smallest bath towel possible which has stain stains on it, there was a very poor fan in the room however all the plug sockets were so badly positioned. We ended up having to move the bed so that we could actually get some air from this fan. Upon moving the bed we found half a packet of nuts left across the floor that hadn’t been cleaned and dust that I’ve been there for ages. This hotel is at best a two star and is an absolute lie that it’s a four. Avoid!!

Nice property - it was unfortunate that due to the major cancellations at Luton airport there was a long wait for check-in but this was, I imagine, exceptional. Nice small hotel, friendly staff and good choice for breakfast.

Nice room for a quick stop over. Breakfast was fine and the staff seemed nice but not really in there long enough to judge more than that.

Friendly and helpful staff, the location was decent and the accomodation lovely. The food on offer was great. Only complaint was the thin walls, we could hear a lot of what was going on in the next room, and our baby woke the baby in the room next door durng the night...
