柳樹訓練中心酒店(The Willows Training Centre)

Value for money and easy access to local pubs and restaurants

Great

Second stay here and was just as great as the first time! Shame about the breakfast £15 for buffet that had been sat under a heat lamp and gone stale and tough no fresh turnover of food.

Greeting at reception was nothing better than ok, disinterested and failed to really provide any information. Room was cold with only a tiny heater and the quilt was not sufficient to provide much warmth. I was given a disabled room, which in itself is not a problem but the bed slid around on casters when sat on so I don’t think it would have been very suitable had I been disabled. The bathroom was tatty, with broken panels on the wall. I’d arrived quite late and the buffet looked very unappetising so I went to the bar where I waited 15 minute before someone arrived to serve me. Food was very average although not expensive. Had I paid £70 for the room I would have been disappointed but at £116 I felt ripped off.

Not the first time I’ve stayed. I was left to check in via machine (the Receptionist wasn’t busy),which took a while but with help I acquired the room card and set off. The room was great with a heated towel rail and in good condition. The tea facilities were also great (milk in sachets, Yorkshire tea) and I had a very comfortable bed in which I slept better than at home because it was quiet as always. However, before turning in I went to the bar for a nightcap. The staff were friendly but the room was cold and looked grubby with tired and uncomfortable seating. Nevertheless I am not put off and will continue to use this hotel which is great value and very convenient.

Loved the room apart from the twin beds instead of a double was offered another room but already unpacked and to tired. Had problem with the shower handle and shower door wouldn't shut we told the receptionist they fixed shower door

A different but enjoyable experience. The location is on a large complex at the end of a long and winding road. The hotel is modern with free coffee machines and also vending machines fir a midnight snack. Compact rooms supply all you need. Only down side is no AC for hot nights. My Autumn stay was fine. It's not budget but vfm. Breakfast breakfast was good and included fresh fruit sand pastries along with the usual hot selection. Overall an enjoyable stay.

It was a little strange going to a training centre for a hotel stay, but I found it to be better than some of the well known common hotels. The staff were all friendly, it was spacious and clean and the food was good

The Willows is in a very quiet area. Parking was good. Amenities in the area were not great but food on site was good. Near A1 but no traffic noise. Plenty of green space. Would stay again Staff very friendly
