The building itself looks lovely from the outside and has a nice lawn, and is in a quiet area not far from town. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end.

The Howden Court Hotel was our designated residence for a choir competition and I could not have been more delighted with the level of service from Peter, Gail and the staff at the hotel.

We have just arrived home after a wonderful 15 day holiday, including Christmas and the New Year, at the Howden Court Hotel. Everything was first class. We had entertainment most nights, and the food and service was excellent. We can't praise the staff enough. Thanks to Peter, Gail, Brian, Val, Andy the Chef and all the staff. Most highly recommended.

A number of guests in our cohort were in the process of planning to return to this hotel as we were departing, and this says nice things about the Howden Court experience. I was impressed that the proprietors both served and ate the same food as us. Good food too. Key to our holiday was the transport element, for which... More
