8/10 Good
"The staff are incredibly nice and helpful, most specifically at the reception desk. The property is in a fabulous area and setting. Our bedroom was quite large, fitted with the bare basics, and plain decor. Room was tired and needing an update. Not much storage space for clothes and the lack of air-conditioning was uncomfortable in the evenings and at night (needed due to the lovely hot weather outside). We visited at peak season and the hotel was packed, but our room was lovely and quiet. So some good things and some poor. Glad we got a deal through a 3rd party website - at full price I would probably have been disappointed. Staff and location are the main assets."

"Room was clean, slightly dated for the price you pay, you’d expect more for the Hilton chain. The staff I dealt with had been friendly. Onsite parking was good with a nice price of £3 a night, just remember that if you drive all the way around the back looking for a better space, you will need to then drive out of the hotel, down the dual carriageway and back again to re-enter the car park. At the time of my stay the access to loop back around the hotel car park was blocked off."

"We only stayed for a night on our way to Dorset but we were very happy. The staff were friendly and helpful. They are clearly short staffed but did their best. The hotel is NOT suitable for anyone with physical disabilities mobility issues. The staircase down to the restaurant is steeper than the Eiger Mountain. But you can access it via the external door! Top tip!"
