The staff are wonderful. Reception team and the bar staff. Yes the whole property could so with a refurb but it was absolutely sufficient for myself and my daughter. The rooms are huge! Breakfast was good and the location is brilliant for the zoo.

Room was excellent, staff were very helpful. Only disappointment was the restaurant. Inflexible when ordering dessert (would not swap ice-cream for custard) and the breakfast was also slightly disappointing as there were only a limited choice (eg no sausages). However overall it was a very convenient stay.

Parking is free for guests, pop your registration in the machine at reception. The room and bathroom were clean and bed comfortable. Plenty of hanging and drawer space. Would have been a nice touch to have bottled drinking water included with the bedroom hot drink station. The shower water pressure was non-existent, this was reported to reception on check-out. Breakfast was tasty, but for the price the selection was small and filter coffee a disappointment. The evening meal (mushroom & chicken risotto) was well cooked and a decent size portion, with friendly service provided by Jacob. My only big moan was that while having dinner the fire door to the restaurant was open and the cigarette smoke from guests outside was wafting in, which was mentioned to waiting staff and also to reception at check-out. Overall, a decent hotel with very friendly staff and handy if you’re visiting the zoo next door.

Rooms were fine, lots of nice scenic views. Staff were helpful and friendly, wasn't impressed with the food though. The unseasoned steak I ordered didn't see the inside of a frying pan at all and the breakfast was a bit low on the portion side of things considering it was about £11 per person. Lovely IPA on tap at the bar though!

The Hotel is undergoing upgrades - the pool Was unavailable but the bed was comfy, shower hot and good hot breakfast. Ok for price. I just wish they would upgrade/ freshen up the hotel front as my first impression was a scout camp! I’d stay again knowing what to expect

Hotel is in a lovely area and looks beautiful inside and out. The staff I met were nice, however was disappointed after having a long day to arrive and told they were not serving any food (was around 7pm). Our room was nice and mostly clean (empty bottles were left on the floor when we arrived) and the TV would only work on BBC1 and ITV and we couldn't use the remote as this didnt work either 🙈

Parking was straightforward. The rooms are in need of refurbishment and the mattress was pretty lumpy. Our TV didn't work but the receptionist was incredibly helpful and eventually moved us to an alternative room. Location can't be faulted. Breakfast was fairly basic but no particular complaints.

It is so unfortunate that a hotel with this potential has been somewhat neglected. We have visited previously and the change since then is apparent. Still wonderful staff, still a fantastic location but the rooms are in dire need of attention. Nothing as horrific as mould or dirt, still very well cleaned but the cleaners have an uphill struggle with the aging of the property. We will most likely return, it's still a good hotel but it could be fantastic!!
