So suprising and so welcoming. Yes the rooms were small but for the price and the short notice booking we didnt expect much more. The room was clean and comfortable. We stayed for two days and two nights, eating all our meals within the premises. The Inn was tranquil and full of character, ourselves and our whippet dog were made to feel so comfortable and welcome. The facilities were spacious and tasteful, the food was more than acceptable but most of all the stay was made so enjoyable by the Staff and their attitude.
I stayed here from 1st February 2019-3rd February 2019. The room was lovely comfy bed and it was beautiful. They allow dogs in which I thought was really good. All staff were very friendly but a big thank you to Chris dave Ed and the kitchen staff the service from these was amazing couldn’t have asked for better. Now the food wow what can I say the first night I had the chicken curry and oh my you could tell it was all homemade and it was lovely on the Saturday for lunch I had gammon egg and chips could not say a bad thing about it Saturday night I had the lasagna which again was homemade and tasted amazing, Sunday I had the beef roast dinner before the drive back home and it hit the spot perfectly. I couldn’t recommend this place enough to everyone I had such a great time and all the staff really helped so thank you very much for the amazing stay and the amazing food
This could be a really great hotel, but is looking tired and uncared-for. The staff, the few that were there, were extremely friendly and helpful. The building, rooms, car park and everything else are in dire need of investment. I would not consider staying here again till some improvements have been made. Dinner was good, and ample in volume. There was a band practicing somewhere in the hotel until 22:45, which made it impossible to get to sleep. Not a great arrangement of you wish your guests to get a good night sleep and get up early for work! So much potential here, but I sense greedy owners are running it into the ground just to fill their own pockets. I haven't seen toilet paper that thin since I was at school!
I stayed in this hotel with my wife. We had our 40th birthday at the Horseshoe and it was a blast. Don't believe anything that's written here. It's a busy hotel. It's warm and welcoming. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the en suite Four poster room is brilliant. The bed is comfy and there is a bath big enough for two. It's also very private. The function Room is massive and has it's own private bar. The buffet was awesome and we ended up taking some of it away with us because it didn't all get eaten, there was so much of it. The food is amazing and the staff are lovely. We have eaten here a couple of times and never had a bad experience. My Mother and other members of the family have also stayed here, eaten here and love it. The breakfast is cooked for you not left to sit around under a heat lamp. There is loads of tea coffee and fruit juice to help yourself to. You'd be a fool not to stay there, eat there, party there!
Had our wedding day here (July 2010), it changed hands on the lead up to it and everything then started to move smoother and faster. Great service and communication all guest who stayed where happy with the room and pleasantly surprised. Great food served and good breakfast, I have been back for lunch a few times. If I had to pick a fault with it, I would have to say slightly high room prices, on the other hand their is a travel lodge down the road but not in same league. The
