The room was lovely and clean and the extra bed was made up. I had alerted them previously that our daughter had not been included on the original booking and they weren't aware of this on checking in. Most of the staff were very courteous. Our TV didn't work particularly well and at one point our room card didn't work. We were told to whatsapp the hotel. The first time this worked very well but it didn't the second time so my husband had to go down and rectify the entry card problem. The restaurant was lovely and the breakfast had a very good offering. The gym and pool were also very good, despite the jacuzzi not working. All in all a good, well located and very reasonably priced hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was modern, clean, practical, had everything you needed. Except there was no bottled water in the room we had. Rituals shampoo etc which was a nice touch. The spa had a lovely swimming pool, but unfortunately every single locker was broken in the changing rooms, the showers around the pool didn’t work and it would be nice to get complementary slippers for spa users with access. The showers in the changing rooms were not much better either, clean and tidy well kept but the showers stay on for no more than 5 seconds - which needs improving. I think they would also benefit from having a swimming costume drying machine in the changing rooms or offer bags for wet suits - this is a standard in all spas. I also think with the price of room rates people staying should receive a discount at least on the parking, or be allocated 24hrs free as a gesture. Overall the stay was pleasant, what we needed, and it was very comfortable.

Amazing stay and great room! Only issue was that we utilised the gym facilities and the dumbells left metal splinters in my partners hands!!! We had to spend a fortune on ‘home remedies’ to remove them, and when we informed the reception they didn’t seem overly interested. He is still having issues with some of the splinters, and will likely have to seek medical assistance to have them removed. This is an issue with low quality equipment, so very frustrating for this to happen at the hotel. The other facilities were great and well maintained.
