Good staff but dirty sofas in room, we found an used vape and a pen apart from crumbs and months of dirt in between the sofa cushions. Breakfast was very very basic. Good staff at the pool/spa. Good pool/spa facilities. Shame about the cleanliness and food.

Under-whelmed!

General facilities were ok. Dinner was significantly under-whelming with poor quality food clearly cooked/prepared in bulk, rather than the expectation of 'cooked-to-order'. Bar under staffed & service was extremly slow. Room was nice, bed was comfy & breakfast was good (despite help yourself buffet style).

Lovely staff but very dated rooms

We booked a deluxe suite so we had a bit of extra room for our 3 year old. The room was huge and well worth paying a little bit extra for but the room itself was dated and slightly dirty. There were cobwebs, the bathroom was grubby although it had been cleaned there was so much scum around the bath and shower screen it looked filthy. The walls were filthy. That being said every staff member we came across was lovely and they left some balloons and a birthday card in the room for our son. The pool was also lovely and he really enjoyed a little swim on his birthday eve.

After checking in we were heading out for a wedding and had to get a shower. The shower was terrible , freezing cold to boiling hot no control over temp Whatsoever , didn't complain at the time at the property as we were on a short turnaround for the wedding. I was going to mention this at checkout. The next morning for checkout we dropped out bags to the car pre breakfast but no one was on the reception desk so we thought we would head into breakfast and try after Breakfast , for a hotel offering in the price region we paid for this, was abysmal , no coffee in the pump style coffee flasks, boiling water just above luke warm for tea , and the offering for cooked breakfast was poor at best , bacon and sausage barely cooked , fried eggs only , and potato scones , that was it for the cooked option. So bitterly disappointing for a hotel pitching itself at this price point. So again i thought id mention it at reception on checkout, however no staff there again and a few people waiting to check out saying they had been there up to ten mins with no staff I travel loads with work but i have to say as lovely as first impressions were of the hotel it was very disappointing in parts and the inability to air my views. / thoughts at check out was disappointing , if i hadn't paid fully upfront for the hotel i would have refused to pay the full amount . I would welcome comment from the hotel management
