We’ve been to the Grand quite a few times now, either to stay, or for lunch. It’s always a great place to visit. The staff are very friendly and the setting is perfect. I know that some of the decor is looking a little tired, but for the price, it’s very good value. It has everything we need and more.

Hotel was nice. Actual bedroom was in need of modernisation. Bar only had one member of staff when we arrived which wasn't ideal but she coped and they did eventually get her some help. Function room was good and breakfast in the morning was ok but nothing special.

The rooms were shabby ,cracks on wall . Cleaning was nit done very well and bathroom drainage in shower was poor. I did tell reception that water was not draining in the shower but nothing was done. I was also overcharged and didn't realise it it until I got home . The accounting system at reception is very poor needs modernising. Security personnel going around the pool area to check if guests were realty staying at the hotel was also not very professional. I would not go back there.
