My wife and I stayed here for 3 days at the end of a birthday tour round parts of England to visit family. We lived in this area for many years so I knew the Tollgate of old when its carvery first started and it gained a very good reputation. So we were a bit apprehensive as to whether it... More

I needed a hotel and restaurant at short notice for a family party, including 5 bedrooms. The Old Tollgate came up trumps. They took a short notice booking for 5 rooms and 20 dining guests with no qualms at all. The reception and waiting staff were polite and courteous.

Upon arrival, there was plenty of car parking spaces and we were greeted warmly by the receptionist.

had a really lovely clean room, good food with lots of choice for non meat eaters for evening meal. Other hotel users who were at the party going on at the hotel should show some respect for the rest of the guests not invited. Breakfast was excellent service was good wil go back again More

They say you should never go back but we thought we'd try a return overnight Friday night special. Be aware that if you book online you need to phone or email the hotel to ensure an evening meal at the time you want. When we got there we were offered 8:45 (too late) or 6pm (too early). Fortunately the staff... More
