Stayed here to use a buyagift voucher.The hotel was easy to find and the car park of a reasonable size. Check in was fast and simple. The room was a nice size and the bathroom more than adequate. The bed was large and comfortable.The breakfast on offer was a light cooked version, being eggs on toast, beans on toast or both on toast or toast and preserves. Cereal, yogurts etc. were also available.It was a bit noisy during the night with other guests returning, but the hotel cannot be held responsible for that.

Staff are so friendly. Breakfast was good.Just the room was a tad too small, bathroom too. Hardly anyway to put toiletries.All in all I’d always go back though.Parking spaces at the back.

I'm not saying the Room wasn't lovely, the room was great. The major problem I noticed was the owners/management leave just 1 person per shift to look after the whole hotel. They don't even offer a proper cooked breakfast because of this, so if you like microwave beans and microwave egg on toast for breakfast then these are your current options. Management need to to have a few staff on shift for health and safety purposes at all times. Leaving one person to do everything is ridiculous especially for the price you charge of around £70+ you'd expect a proper breakfast from a B&B spending this much.

Good room in Lodge 3, they deal with any complaints rapidly, clean and tidy. Breakfast very basic, fresh coffee, orange juice, cereals, choose how your eggs are cooked, plenty of baked beans. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Good place to stay if you have a job near by. Big car park, but can get full. Enjoyed the brief stay.

We visited the Granby Hotel last night (04.12.21) for a meal. After parking in the Granby’s dedicated parking to the rear, we proceeded to the dinning room and was greeted by the front of house.After being taken to our table we were serviced by very friendly staff. The ambiance in the room is very tranquil.We had starters, main course and desserts. Each course was truly a 10/10. The chef is truly amazing!We will be returning!
