Best Western Parkmore Hotel & Leisure Club

I received a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. My room was lovely and well equipped and I had the best night's sleep which is proof of a good bed! I took my dinner as room service and it was a generous portion and very fresh and tasty. The back garden is very relaxing to sit in during the summer evening. less

I recently visited this hotel on business for the first time. Its a old hotel which they’ve tried to modernise but probably done on a fairly low budget. It creates a place that seems clean but not overly impressive in terms of decor. Saying that, it was the cheapest hotel in the area and was good value for money. Service was good and no complaints. I had breakfast which at £19 was steep but convenient at least and it was fairly nice. I would stay again on business but would be looking for a more luxurious hotel if I visited the area for pleasure less

The hotel was wonderfully quiet - there were not many guests staying on a Friday night. We loved the leaded window on the main stairs although the wallpaper in the dining room and on the stairs was inappropriate for the Victorian building. My friend thought the bedroom was too hot overnight (we stayed during the heatwave) despite the open window. My big disappointment was the cooked breakfast. The Craster kipper was a sad small thing, a lurid shade of orange and delivered without its head or tail. The tiny piece I dropped on my trousers has left a permanent stain (was it really a Craster kipper?) less

Stayed at the Parkmore for a couple of nights and managed to obtain a special rate for more than one night that included breakfast. Hotel is well placed with plenty of off-road parking. Room was large and comfortable although, being at the back of the hotel on the ground floor next to the car park and not far from the railway line, meant that we could not sleep with any windows open on some of the hottest days of the year. Breakfast on the first day was very good with a choice of cooked meals from a breakfast menu. The second day however was bordering on chaotic. I think that there was probably a staff shortage but the menu had gone and it was self service for the cooked food from a hotplate. There seemed to be a continual shortage of cereal plates, milk, granola, yoghurts and orange juice. We muddled through and the food available was good, if not what I had hoped to eat. As a resident we made full use of the spa. The pool is small but as good as some other hotels that I have visited. It was 2m deep at one end and the water was warm. The jacuzzi was good and the hydrotherapy pool was great. Residents can borrow towels from the spa desk. We did not try the gym. Overall, I would use the Parkmore again as it is convenient and one of the better places available in the area. The breakfast experience was disappointing. The rooms comfortable is rather warm and noisy and the spa was a bonus. Very good free wifi. less

We recently attended my daughters wedding at this hotel and it was fantastic. The honeymoon suite large and well fitted out. The staff were 1st class throughout the day from the bar staff to the waiting staff everyone we met were so helpful. Food was lovely and the y layout of the hotel ensures everyone can find somewhere nice to sit, Lovely little court yard to sit out in and the ideal venue for a wedding. The wedding planner was outstanding and nothing was to much trouble. The reception room looked amasing and I can recommend it for anyone else looking for a wedding venue. Food was delicious throughout the day. I have previously had the carvery and cream teas at this venue and they are always spot on too. less
