I shouldn’t say to much because the Hillthwaite might put up their prices! Excellent, comes to mind, ten out of ten in all departments, but the big standout was high quality of the staff, I highly recommend this hotel.

It’s the 1st time we have used the hotel. I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The room was lovely and comfy and very clean. I don’t have a bad word to say about the hotel. We will definitely come back the weekend.

Hotel was nice although the pool was cold and the steam room wasn't working. My room was ground floor and as a solo female traveller, I would've preferred a room on 1st floor or above but it was clean and an ok size for one person. Food was great, very good selection for breakfast and all cooked fresh. Good, walkable distance from town with good public transport links to other areas.
