Craig, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good comfy stay with excellent facilities. Aspect restaurant as only dining option on site was a bit too posh for liking. Buildings look a bit old and tired but still in good condition. Am waiting for partial refund due to check out 2 days early so will see if get it. Walking directions from station were not provided and no directions on site so not easy to find hotel for initial check in.

Fine but not 4-star

Our stay was fine…. However I definitely wouldn’t say it was a four star hotel. The shower was broken and the room was damp with excessive condensation on the inside of the window. Phoned and asked for shower to be looked at at 4pm and still not done by 9pm. We were assured the GM would contact us the following morning but nil contact. Apart from that the staff were nice at check in, and at breakfast. Children enjoyed the pool and the disco.

Great location, hotel needs complete revamp!

Great location and good breakfast. However, hotel overall extremely dated and things look dirty. The pool area was extremely dirty looking and the Spa pool was not on so extremely disappointing. None of these would be major issues if it were not for the price you pay. One of the things we paid to go there for was a spa pool. The bed was comfy enough. There are only two usable sockets for plugs in room as others are the special lamp sockets so not great if have more than two things to be plugged in at once.

Once we found where to go, check in was straight forward...room was fine..problem with shower screen, allowing water to escape onto floor...food at breakfast was okay, adequate though nothing special...quite busy...amenities at hotel are good..grandson loved the pool...would visit again...even with the rude awakening with the fire alarm on friday morning..!!

Lovely comfortable and spacious room, with free access to a leisure centre and pool. Would stay again though might head out for breakfast.

4/10 Fair

Building needs an upgrade. Fixtures and fittings in bedroom dated and chipped. Sound proofing between rooms poor. Ordered piri piri chicken received plain roast chicken, no apology. Top money paid for substandard product. Please raise your game, letting down a fantastic setting.
