Super all round
Amazing place - very inviting with splendid drive and entrance. Large room with ‘proper’ wardrobe space. Ideal for several nights stay. Not too great menu choice but very attentive staff. Comfortable all round. Didn’t use all the facilities as was just a one night stay. Would definitely recommend.

5 star!!!!
Room was extremely clean, plenty of towels, products, drinks (still and sparkling water) and biscuits provided for our stay. You can request more at the reception if needed. The room smelt beautiful - like lemons. Bed and pillows were so comfortable, feather pillows, white linen. Food in the evening was phenomenal, we ordered 3 meals and all were of a very high quality. Breakfast was amazing, a fantastic selection on the buffet and we also ordered a cooked breakfast - food on the cooked breakfast was of a high standard, very good quality. All staff we encountered on our visit were friendly and willing to chat. The pool was a little cool but the jacuzzi, steam room and sauna were great. The hotel is of a high standard, communal areas are clean and up to date. Communal areas were quiet in the evening and morning. Will be visiting again and would highly recommend to anybody else.

Wonderful people and staff
The experience we had was wonderful. We had 2 treatments each and due to a mix up with prices because of the changeover of hotel brand the spa manager James was very accommodating and very helpful. We all really appreciated his time and generosity. Made our stay even better. Top marks for him and pls thank him on our behalf. The chair in our room is very dated but every else is top notch. If hotel is aware of the number of people staying in the room they should accommodate accordingly ie number of glasses cups etc. and maybe an extra chair. However the reception provided us with 2 chairs as we had requested them due to us being deaf we needed to see each other clearly and sitting on the bed would have made it more uncomfortable. We also very much appreciated that too so thanks to them. Great stay thank you

Extremely dated
We checked in and were told the booking needed paying for despite us already paying through hotels.com which wasn’t the best start. Then once we went up to the room, we walked through a very dated corridor to arrive at a room which was in desperate need of refurbishment. On the plus side, a decent gym and lovley breakfast.

WORST bar/restaurant in years
hotel itself was great, room great and comfy breakfast really good HOWEVER the bar/restaurant was absolutely shocking, i ordered a soda water starter and main at the same time, i waited 30 min for my drink after i went to bar to complain, the starter took 40 min, after a hour i went back to bar and asked for my SALAD ........1 hour 10 min for a salad, they were just rubbish at there job, dont seem to know what is going on, even took me 15 minutes to pay my bill, he would hit the screen then walk away talk to his staff come back do it again, 3 times we were rudely interrupted by staff and he would just drop the customer and go speak to them the card machine even timed out he was chatting so much ...........they totally ruined the rest of the stay
