I recently stayed at this hotel as part of a wedding party. The website looks great so I thought why not splash out on a superior room. I regularly stay in hotels throughout the country on business and I can catagorically say that the room I was given(Superior) was extremely poor and did not represent good value for money. The room did not compare with Hilton/Marriot or even the standard of a Holiday Inn. I was shocked!

On the positive side the Food is good and the dining experience is very good.

Positive points - good scoff (both dinner and breakfast) and pleasant, friendly staff. Bad points - the accommodation.

I've seen faded grandeur, but this is faded utility. My wife doesnt climb stairs, so I asked for a ground floor room. The room we were allocated was tiny. There was the bed in the middle, and barely enough room to walk around it. We turned round to leave, but when I went to reception I was offered their disabled room, which I accepted.

As a disabled room it was a disgrace. Certainly, it had a door leading straight out into the carpark, so there was wheelchair access, but apart from a silly contraption over the bath there was no concession to disability. The plumbing was domestic - the shower was unusable because the temperature could not be controlled - if you were unable to move quickly enough you could easily be scalded. The bath was small and narrow, with no proper handles. The toilet also had no handles.

The room itself was fairly clean (apart from a dubious stain on the counterpane), but very battered. There was a large crack in the plaster near the ceiling. The standard of the room had never been brilliant - the furniture reminded me of war time utility stuff my parents had - and also showed signs of extreme age.

Also, there was silvered glass in the door which had no curtain. At night, with the light on inside, any passer by could look in to see you clearly

This is obviously a conference hotel, where people who have no choice as to where they stay are made to stay, but if you have a choice, I'd say to you just not to go there.

We stayed at the Marsh Farm hotel for one night at the beginning of July.
Unfortunately instead of getting a good night's sleep, we found it impossible.

Nothing to do with any noise, but the lack of air-conditioning. The room we were staying in was one within the block of rooms 40-50. As there was a wedding going on whilst we were there, it may be that these were the only rooms available. However, whilst the decor was fine (though the fittings in the bathroom cheap), and the room seemed clean enough, it was tiny! The lack of air-conditioning meant that when we returned to our room at the end of the evening it was like being in a sauna - honestly.
The next morning we had a delicious breakfast in the conservatory-cum-dining room, which was lovely.

However, we will not stay at this hotel again. Unfortunately it left me with the thought that I can certainly understand why people prefer to rake their holidays abroad, rather than in the UK, as you would certainly get a much better deal anywhere on the continent.

Thank you so much to the Marsh Farm Hotel for a simply wonderful weekend. Being in the trade I am very critical of hotels but could find nothing to fault in the Marsh Farm Hotel. The friendliness of the staff made it home from home whilst their professional approach made the hotel suitable for both business and leisure travellers.
The senior management are obviously "hands on" and it shows.

Best of luck for a great future.
