    "We had hoped for a restaurant to have an evening meal so we could have a bottle of wine etc but the restaurant isn't open only for breakfast, so we had to go out and find an evening meal,But if that was a quiet room, we had a long drive there and a funeral to attend before travelling back, 430mile round trip, so the quiet room was really required." (97741292)

    The room and Breakfast were o.k.

    I asked for a quiet room if possible,But the first night they have a club below and thumping music went on till 2am And a boiler close by woke us at 6.30am both days

    "I would not book a room again at this hotel unless I find out that the bathrooms have been modified. It really was ridiculous and spoils what appears to be a nice hotel." (97356158)

    Friendly, clean, old fashioned charm

    Bathroom too small. Space between bath and toilet very cramped even for a small person. Almost impossible to use the toilet!!!

    "The rooma and service was good, however the noise from outside of some kind of fridge or generator was very annoying. The carpark was too full of work vans and driving test centre cars and as a result my car was blocked in and took a while to get away." (97566626)

    Good breakfast, comfy bed and room.

    A generator from outside came on at 5am and was very loud and woke me up. Also the carpark was full of work vans and as a result my car got blocked in.

    Excellent Northumbrian breakfast, served on the hottest plate ever!

    Room overlooking the main street. A surprisingly large amount of traffic from 5.30am onwards.

    "The only commemt I have is that by booking online we were not advised that there was a Night club on the Friday evening, and our room was immediately over it. The staff kindly allowed us to move to another room for our last night." (99108580)

    "A nice hotel in a convenient central location with all the facilities I was looking for." (99959055)

    room was very spacious and had all the facilities I needed.

    I felt the price was a bit high for the part of the country and standard of accommodation

    "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel, all needs are catered for, wouldnt recommend it for disabled persons as there are quite a few stairs to negotiate, also if you are looking for a quiet break i wouldnt stay over the weekend as there is a nightclub below the hotel which can be noisy otherwise an excellent choice and great value for money, staff pleasant and helpful and the breakfasts are wicked!" (99301557)

    Comfortable, clean rooms, staff excellent, nothing too much trouble and an excellent breakfast menu, great value for money.

    The room was of a reasonable size.

    I have filled in the form provided by the hotel stating that blankets and the top covering of the bed had holes in it.

    "If you intend to use IT during your stay and want to access the internet/e-mails there is no wireless network available at the hotel." (99550395)

    Good parking area to rear of hotel. Check in very easy and painless, staff well prepared for arrivals. Good size room which was clean and generally well equipped. Very pleasant staff and an excellent breakfast. Good town centre location and very close to the river.

    The bar area resembles something from an Austin Powers movie and isn't somewhere to enjoy a relaxing drink! There are plenty of other pubs nearby. The hotel is a little dark inside but that is probably down to the age.

    Breakfast was excellent,cooked to order.Staff were all pleasant.

    Hotel was noisy not just from the night club which was mention but guests coming and going all night into daylight.The plumbing made horrible loud noises in our room after use.

    Very central location but not noisy. Some areas of the hotel ie The adjacent cafe/bar were showing signs of wear and in need of refurbishment but the food was excellent.

    Its location suited me very well.

    No real bar for residents, the Burnt Orange looked and was very poor. The beer was bad and staff didn't know how to pull a pint.
