Springhill Court Hotel

Springhill Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean. Shower was amazing. Staff very helpful. No air-con in rooms so had to have window open. Could hear people coming and going from car park outside and during the night the lorry’s using the main road outside. There was also a bright light outside our window which lit the room up. The room would be better with a fitted roller blind to act as a black out blind."

8/10 Good
"Staff were excellent throughout. Breakfast was very good, with a vast selection of foods available in the buffet and a lovely choice of sit-down menu. The room was very big, with very comfortable beds. We had plenty of space even with the rollout bed for our teen and we all slept very well. Just felt for 4star the room was a little tired and needs a bit of TLC."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay @ Launard house! Sharon & Adam provided exceptional service & hospitality. This was the 11th lodging stop for us (Scotland & Ireland) and the first to have a top sheet & washcloths, which we appreciated as Americans. Sometimes it’s the little things!😃 We walked into town for dinner with dozens of great dining choices. Breakfast was delicious and we wish we could have stayed longer. "
