8/10 Very good

The location is excellent, outside areas a bit scruffy, but public inside areas all clean and very good. The place was let down by the bathroom which had mould on the bath sealant and the extractor fan did not work. The bed was very comfortable and we would have slept well if the next door room had not returned at 0100 and played music for an hour. Mainly a good stay considering the price we paid very good value for money and a good breakfast set up.

Convenient location if traveling to the area. Would be great if you have an EV since there are so many chargers. I didn't eat here so cannot attest to the food. Room was clean and comfy, well appointed. Quiet despite being near the motorway.

Perfectly adequate stay. Free room upgrade thank you, but room was quite cold and road noise disturbing, but not enough to stop a good nights sleep. Very friendly staff

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the receptionist had booked guests in a million times and was very efficient. The young waitress who served me was originally from Kent and l recognised her accent from coming from where l used to live. My room 101 was a nice location, full view of the Scotch Corner roundabout and could see the snow and when it was clear so l could get on my way to continue my journey to Scotland. It really is in a fantastic location. Breakfast was good the chef made the best porridge in the North East so he tells me.

Decor is getting tired and needs a refurbishment. We had a room overlooking road and road noise was loud. Bathroom felt cold as no heating and large window with no window dressing and downpipe noise. We have stayed previously with room away from the road and internal bathroom which was better. Staff were helpful and friendly and location is convenient for exploring the area.

Great hotel for a pit stop

A great hotel for a comfortable and friendly place to stay. It’s not fancy, and a little tired in places, but it’s super clean, the beds are great and the staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Plenty of parking - just remember to put your reg in at reception. Overall a good pit stop
