Friendly and fabulous.

The staff at this hotel could not have been anymore helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them. They are very dog friendly and although not allowed in the restaurant which I fully agree with we could take our dog in the lounges. The pool and sauna/steam room were great and very well maintained. We would definitely return here when we are visiting this area again. Great breakfast too!

Overall a let down, expected so much more. Hotel facilities are good, great area, good gym, pool and restaurant (if not a bit pricey for what you’re getting). But it needs investment, a deep clean and some staff training. Staff overall were friendly and helpful, and room was a good size. However, hotel really needs a deep clean, while the beds and bathroom were clean, the carpets were filthy, room was dusty, there were stickers on side of bed with dead moths in it (assume it’s to catch them). below what you would have expected from the hotel. Of the 3 nights we stayed, first day beds were done, but tea/coffee not refilled, no clean cups, and carpets not vacuumed. Phoned twice over 4 hours to get some teabags for the room. Second day room wasn’t even visited, beds not done, no new towels, no new cups, bins not emptied. Returned to hotel at 4pm. Had to call again No parking on second day because of a wedding on with inconsiderate drivers (4/5 cars parked over lines). Reg numbers given, was told it would be raised with duty manager. Saw others raising same issue with reception, nothing done about it as far as I could tell. Good breakfast, although told we had to pay £8 per child even though we were told everyone included when we phoned prior to booking. Duty manager sorted this quickly, no fuss which was good. Dinner at restaurant was good, pricey but charged for 2 year old despite booking confirmation stating kids under 5 are free with adult meal. Refunded.

A good night's sleep

Comfortable beds in clean and tidy rooms. Good range of options for breakfast and the dining room is lovely. Really good views from the windows if you are lucky enought o get a seat there. Most of the double rooms seem to be in the annex. You won't necessarily be getting a room in the old building.
