Staff were not particularly helpful or friendly - gave my name in and paid - was handed a key and then the receptionist walked away without telling me where my room was - didn't give me a great 1st impression... Room was comfortable enough - and clean. Food... More

Stayed 1 night. Room clean & comfortable but bathroom badly needs upgrading, jacuzzi didn't work, told by staff 'none do'! Windows very dirty so glad there was no view to be spoilt. Breakfast good but limited refreshments in room, no biscuits, no fridge. Room was opposite function suite, very noisy until 1pm! More

Booked a family room to attend a friend's party and though most of the hotel had been refurbished the room we were given was not. 1980's decor with shabby carpet, Walls etc but would pass for one night. However when we returned to the hotel in the evening it seems our room was right above the dj from a wedding... More

I have stayed at this hotel for many years and this time I have noticed big changes. Refitted dining room and better food. The staff are all very friendly and the hotel and food is reasonably priced and ideally situated for visiting my relatives in the area More

We got married in Scotland and had a party at the Stobart Stadium when we come back to celebrate. We decided to book a night here following the party. I had not looked on trip advisor and was so sorry I didn't. The room was filthy, the bathroom had cracked tiles and holes in the walls. The bed covers looked... More
