Good hotel, very comfortable. Sadly the room was very noisy due to the road outside.

Too busy with the size of the pool and how many ppl there especially with a 10 week old baby. Got told 2 different things with timing when we rang up arrived at time on the phone can't go in till about later due to classes. Sauna isn't fpr under 16s but children were using it and no lifeguard

Yesterday we stayed the night after celebrating a friends wedding. The Chase did not disappoint! A warm welcome, beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and extremely accommodating and friendly. Lesley the hotel manager is a great presence with nothing being too much trouble. Camilla excelled in her wedding planning leaving everything perfect. All the staff we smart, polite and fun to be around.

My husband took our boys swimming which was also very clean and easily accessible. Beds extremely comfortable and decorated very well. We may only live 10 miles away but would most definitely stay here again. The chase is the place 100%

We attended a wedding with our french bulldog and the staff could not have been more helpful. They looked after him for most of the day and evening. Brilliant

Its run down and dated and missing character I was hoping to see. Bathroom is more modern and was mostly clean, towels are good size and keeping them warm is a nice touch. Room is cold, but electric heater is available in room. Head rest on both beds have sweat mark and are generally not something to touch. Great to have pool available to all guest, but pool itself is dirty, with dirty tiles and dirty changing rooms, showers. see pictures.

I'm not sure why, but I was expecting better, the hotel room was clean, reasonably well appointed and comfortable. I was only there overnight and dined out so I can't comment on the food. WiFi was very fast which made a pleasant change and the staff very engaging. Down sides were really cheap loo roll and no car charging points.

Nice old style hotel, didn't get to see much of it as I arrived so late and out again early in morning but night staff went out of their way to reopen the bar and provide a much needed pint after a 4 hour journey. Has a pool and lovely grounds as well
