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.

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

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.

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...

Well managed family party

Fantastic sevice from Alex, who arranged our family dinner in a private room and was super helpful, and reception were also friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles with staff who couldn't cope and werent professional, but overall a good stay - the food was excellent quality and value. Walled garden is pretty and the old part of the hotel is nice - the new parts lack any sort of character, but are comfortable enough.
