we badly needed a break mid term, so decided on a hotel that wasn't too far away. We arrived (having overshot, the signage isn't great) I was impressed by the bright reception & the warm welcome I received. Check in was easy & we made our way to our room. I wasn't expecting anything great, but we were delighted, a bright, spacious bathroon, full size wardrobe, the room opened out to a very comfortable space. A huge bed (SO comfy) a desk, decent tv & a fab sofa.
We went for dinner in the bright & modern bistro. We shared an Indian platter of samosas, bagis & Pacoras which was delicious. Hubs had the sweet potato curry, I had fish & chips both were lovely. The house wine is decent & reasonably priced.
We slept like logs & enjoyed a very yummy breakfast. There are juices cereals & pastries to start with & a cooked buffet that you help yourself to. The staff were lovely & cooked some veggie sausages which hubby loved.
We had ordered a table for dinner but someone took it! The staff member went above & beyond to sort us out. She did, & we loved our table. We shared a huge plate of nancos, I had pork & he had veggie burger. Both were excellent.
We ended the evening with a cocktail!
It is a very welcoming place. Every member of staff is terrific. There is a health club & pool. Spa treatments can be bokked. Parking is secure & free. I loved every second of our stay.
2 minor niggles, not over keen on the bath & the walls are thin. Did it out me off? NO. Will we return? Oh yes indeed.

My step-daughter purchased a voucher for my husband and I to have afternoon tea, so we decided to make a night of it!
We had a nice welcome and the afternoon tea was lovely. Our room was clean and bed was comfortable; we slept well. We had an evening meal which was delicious and the breakfast was decent too. Overall we ate very well and were happy with all of our meals.
We also used the swimming pool and had a relaxing swim.
The staff were very nice.
I would stay again.
Not a complaint, but it's worth noting that although this is called Georgian House Hotel, it's really a large coporate hotel, very close to the motorway and busy main road. The view from our window was a roof top with ducting and air con units, again it's not a complaint but I'm trying to give a realistic account of my visit for future travellers.
The only complaint is the ladies changing room in the fitness area next to the swimming pool. it should have been refurbished years ago. Sorry but I wasn't prepared to use those facilities and quickly got dressed and showered in my room.

Stayed over at this hotel as it was a friends 30th, The party room was a good size and was furnished/decorated to a good standard
The hotel is old and in need of an upgrade but the rooms clean and had no complaints
The staff are a mixed bag, Breakfast staff de-motivated and I feel breakfast in other hotels makes or breaks the stay with the personality of the staff. Some of the reception staff again just don’t look happy, maybe management need to give them a moral boost? Bar staff at the function friendly and a lot more personality.
Overall a good stay for what we paid, with an update or even just the management making the staff happier to work this could be a great hotel!

Since arriving on a bank holiday weekend 2 night stay the staff were faultless and very helpful. My opinion of the hotel was surprisingly clean i was expecting something to fail, but i was very happy with the facilities and especially the breakfast! the staff was so kind 1 polite young lady offered to play with baby whilst we had breakfast so we can eat in peace. The car park was very busy on the weekend we arrived but soon cleared up the following day. So to summarise i would happily stay here again

On this occasion it would be rude of me not to write a compliment.
Courteous staff, clean room, super breakfast with a great choice,
A n utter steal at £55 B&B to lay one's head down for the night.
Well done to all concerned.

I would be very happy to stay here again. The staff were very helpful and the food was excellent.
There is also ample parking across from the hotel in the bus terminal, which if you talk to the hotel staff first costs £4 a day. However, there is very little parking outside the hotel, which means you have to pay for the car park first and then check in. The rooms are very clean and of an excellent standard for the price of the room. The breakfast was also excellent.

I can say its average. I booked a room for One night. Standard room or so I thought. Tired and a little weary I made my way to the fifth floor. Opened the door. Two single beds. So I went back down to reception. Could I have a double bed please. What did you book ? A double room I state well it's a standard and they are allocated on arrival ok? And anyway we are fully booked. Rooms are stuffy the view in the distance over the bus station is great. Good points. It's near the bus station and a short walk to the train station. The beer is cold and the chicken caesar salad was exceptional. I would give the scrambled egg at breakfast a miss too distinctly watery and grainy. Not what I would expect of a holiday inn at all

Had a double room with everything in it was very clean and comfortable. As a 1 night stop was perfectly adequate, wouldn't stay any longer as nothing really there The service in the restaurant for both evening meal and breakfast was very good food in evening nothing special, breakfast a lot more choice

Stayed here last weekend (5th floor, double room), room was nice with just a few tiny niggles (bedside light not working, wobbly toilet seat, hole in net curtains).
Breakfast was fantastic with a very relaxed atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff members - one of the best hotel breakfasts we've had in years!
Only strange thing is that after 10pm the lift doesn't go to the ground floor meaning after our evening out we had to climb a flight of stairs, walk wast a deserted reception desk to get the lift from 1st to 5th floor, as an asthma sufferer this isn't really ideal but how anyone in a wheelchair would manage I have no idea?!
Overall was please though and would deffo stay again.

The welcome and general nature of the staff at this hotel was superb! A group of us stayed last weekend and I must say the staff made it all the more special. The rooms were clean, stylish and large and the bar area was surprisngly decent too.
We shall stay again, and we certainly recommend.
