Superb stay whilst we were working in the area. Staff were amazing. Highly recommended
Christopher, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Evening meals in restaurant were tasty and a good selection of options. Bonus for me was that they did small portions of many of the meals. Service for Evening meals and breakfast was excellent with staff friendly. Bedrooms were large and clean but very warm! It made it difficult to sleep because of it despite keeping bedroom window wide open all the time. Main area and pool were well kept . Stairs and corridors carpets were tired and stained looking but overall was very pleasantly surprised and would happily stay there again :)

Comfortable but tired

We stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting family in the area. We felt that the hotel was comfortable, but in need of significant modernising. Our room was feeling very tired , with dated and scuffed furnishings . The walls were also very thin leading to disturbed sleep thanks to some amerous neighbours! The leisure facilities are a real bonus, with a good pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. The staff both in the hotel and at the pool were profesional and friendly throughout our stay

sharon, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Had two night stay and slept really well, so no complaints about the beds. Staff friendly. Decor generally very poor (carpets and walls in particular need attention) and no need for radiators to be on during the summer - some of the corridors were uncomfortably hot. Carpets smelly.

Had a fab time staff are all lovely. Room was clean with a comfy bed loads of tea and coffee in rooms and nice biscuits.Fire alarm went off a few times after coming out the shower but staff were at door within seconds to make sure we were ok must be very sensative alarm. The breakfast was amazing with great choice hot and fresh plenty selection hot or continental. Dinner was amazing and liked you could get half portions of some of the main meals. The bar staff were lovely and friendly. The pool area with hot tub sauna and steam room was fab and again all staff were friendly and helpful even got to join the aqua gym class which was great and all free when staying at hotel as guest. Me and my husband will defo be back to stay in the near future.

Ok but needs an upgrade

Have stayed here a few times before. We came for our anniversary but unfortunately wasn’t impressed this time. Our room was nice enough and comfy bed. There was 2 coffee cups with coffee & tea but no teaspoons to stir it. There also was no hand soap, shower gel etc or anything at all to wash your hands with in the bathroom which I found pretty poor. The spa is ok, pool is nice but it’s very tired looking and needs a good upgrade tbh. Steamroom was like sitting in a cupboard.

8/10 Very good

The place is nice, clean, staff are very nice WiFi signal is weak, the washroom needs to be updated, it was a very hot day, yet the heaters were on in the hallways Otherwise the room and the washroom were very clean and spacious
