Someone walked in my room whilst I was asleep when I shouted they walked out left the light on kids we’re running around the corridor all the time making loads of noise and when I checked out early they didn’t even care the staff

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.

Former asylum seekers hotel, outsourced to the home office. I wish it all the best to get it back on it’s feet. I’m glad i brought my noise cancelling headphones (thin walls) and the bar & restaurant were closed. The shower was good, that was the only positive.

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

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.

Nice room for a quick stop over. Breakfast was fine and the staff seemed nice but not really in there long enough to judge more than that.

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...

We had an amazing time, we had a great meal in the Henry room. The slow cooked beef was delicious and would definitely recommend it and the biscotti cheesecake. The room was great and the service was too. Loved the walled garden and as it was a gorgeous day we sat out there till late having a few drinks from the bar in the garden.

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.
