We had a lovely stay and also met up with family members. Our room was fresh, clean, comfortable and very welcoming. We had intended to use the spa facilities and the pool, which looked lovely but we ran out of time unfortunately ! We will return ! From the moment we checked in with the gentleman in Reception, to all staff members we met during our stay, they couldnt have been more welcoming, helpful or efficient. They are a credit to you and valued staffing. A good visit, thank you, and we will return.

Our favourite hotel for a family wellbeing break, we love the sauna, pool, jacuzzi and steam room, quiet bedrooms and the buffet breakfast. Lots to see and do in the local area, and the staff are lovely. Useful to have EV charging and plenty of free parking.

Lovely staff , extremely clean in all areas . Good quality food for evening meal and the buffet breakfast was very good value for money . I would say that the pool area could do with a re-think as trying to get past the jacuzzi to the pool steps when swimming lessons are taking place is quite difficult, one wrong move and you would be head first into the jacuzzi! Otherwise great facilities. The spa looked lovely but unfortunately no slots available, our fault as we booked an hour before arrival as a last minute decision. Would 100% stay again.

Staff were fantastic; a real asset to the hotel. We stayed in a family room which was great, although a little bit of a distance from reception but I guess that’s good too as quieter.

Spacious and clean room overlooking the golf course. Staff were polite, welcoming and helpful. Made good uses of the swimming pools steam room sauna and small gym during the late afternoon/evening. There was a wedding party at the hotel during my stay but there were no noise issues in the room.

Really nice hotel. The room size was great and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel was very busy, but that was expected due to New Year and half-term. The pool was also very busy and there was quite a wait to get in, but we managed in the end. The steam room and sauna were lovely and the facilities overall were very good. The lobby smelt lovely, was nicely decorated, and the hotel was very clean throughout. Breakfast was quite manic and chaotic but there was a good selection of options. The staff were friendly and even brought vegetarian sausages to our table, which was appreciated. Overall, a good stay for the price we paid — very affordable and a nice night away. A good hotel overall.

My partner has stayed before and said it was good food and good service etc however we just stayed for New Years Eve and didn’t have a great experience (which I think is because they couldn’t cope with how busy it was). When we arrived we were told the pool was full and then would call us when we could get in, this ended up being an hour before closing, I’d point out this is more of a family/kid pool not suitable if you are looking to swim song lengths. We had a reservation for dinner but had to sue and didn’t get seated for over half an hour, had to ask three times just for some water. Dinner was a carvery, because it was late by the time we got seated we clearly just had what was left of the food which had likely been out a while as it was quite dry. Breakfast the next morning again was quite chaotic with them unable to keep up with demand. Like I say, my partner has been before and had a good experience but I feel they can’t cope with high demand.

Positives: very convenient locale, outside urban areas therefore easy to drive to. Passcode for keypad needed to exit ones car, which is provided by reception to residents. Ample free parking on site. EV car charging point available, which was quite handy. Hotel well within the grounds of the estate, allowing for a very quiet environment. Reception quick and hassle-free. Friendly reception staff. Access to rooms via key card. Room well lit, with natural views. Well heated and comfortable room. Complimentary Belgian chocolate on arrival. Coffee making amenities replenished every day. Room clean and turned over daily on time. Shower strength moderate. Iron with ironing table in the room. Restaurant food of good variety and fairly fresh. Same as breakfast. Did not use swimming pool or spa amenities. Negatives: the lobby looks bare and Spartan. Altogether a tad too functional. Toilet flush strength in the room was really weak, requiring multiple flushing attempts. While I did not use the TV in the room, I checked it. Early 2000s technology and of low image resolution, in dire need of an upgrade.
